That is an interesting idea. If we added signals that get emitted
through various places, it would be easy to build an addon that could
collect and send data. That would also help us find underused parts of
Gramps, and then allow us to find ways of making them more obvious, or
just pointing them out to users.

I guess I don't understand this point. There are tons of suggestions
in the issue tracker about items that the vast user base have. Some
are far out and others make a lot of sense. But I see that developers
read these and implement or address them whenever they can. But yes,
the developers themselves are a small sample size.
