There are currently no plans to gather statistics on clients, mostly because there's no infrastructure for clients to report them. (Relays can simply include statistics in their extra-info descriptors that they upload to the directory authorities, but there's no such thing for clients.) I agree that tor2web has some interesting statistics that are worth gathering. But it could be that these will have to be gathered on the application level and not by little-t-tor itself. Maybe something for the R task list [0]? (Please talk to asn if you'd like to add something there.)
