I noticed that the #ChatMail relays have a `/metrics` page that lists the number of active users. This info is gathered through a cron job. So I decided to poll the known public servers every hour and see how large is the user-base of #DeltaChat on public servers and how does it fluctuates. I will publish the results in a few days when enough data is gathered, but for now, the code lives in this Git repo and any ideas/suggestions are very welcome:

Just to clarify, #DeltaChat can use normal mail servers and there is also an alternative relay[1] that is not #ChatMail. So the data I'm collecting is not going to be "complete", plus there are a ton on non-public relays. Also, unfortunately this metrics feature is now removed in the main branch [2] and soon will be deployed on all relays, which is unfortunate as it would be nice to have an overall metric.
