It depends on how do you want to get the statistics and how much
information do you want in them. There are several
sites that offer online statistics for your websites, but those are
closed-sourced and payed... but depending on the cost, maybe this is
an option? (Say, lets get statistics for one or two months to see if
we can get some useful info)

I'm not sure how they do it, exactly, but they're able to push their weekly metrics out to a shared Google Docs spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aibg4PvTbjUKcGlBLWEtZFhDTDJwN3ZCNXBUdTBIS0E&hl=en_US#gid=0
 
The "SUMO" platform is Django-based, and the source is available on github: https://github.com/jsocol/kitsune
 
I think this is something to look at in the future, but I am personally more focused on getting decent mallard-based help for all of GNOME's core apps at this time.
