Quoting the Wikipedia article on GIMP:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIMP#Forks_and_derivatives

"Instrumented GIMP (ingimp): Created at the University of Waterloo to 
track and report user interaction with the program to generate 
statistics about how GIMP is used, first released on 5 May 2007. 
Statistics collected by ingimp were publicly available freely of charge 
on the project's website after being anonymized.[61] As of 2014, the 
ingimp website is no longer functioning."

Whatever statistics were collected, they are no longer available unless 
someone can find an archived copy.

Also, those statistics pertain to 8-bit GIMP users. There are a lot of 
people in GIMP's target group of high end users who have never used GIMP 
precisely because it didn't support high bit depth image editing.
