I can't imagine any casual system will provide very reliable data so why
worry about an email address. If it is the first time a person starts
gnome, maybe ask them to let us know they are running gnome. Also, what
about the many folks who discover Linux and go window manager hopping
every week. It would be good to know who really uses gnome and is not
just giving it a try. Another option would be something like a "I am a
GNOME" campaign or something where users can really take the time to
support gnome and let us know how many people are running it. At this
point, it does sound like it will be better on the marketing list! Just
my two cents.
