Ah, gmail has cut out the CC list. Below is my reply to a previous message by Will Palmer.

I think, it would be nice to have a tool, which output all the different stats about the repo, maybe even in a gui. But it definitely doesn't belong in the Git project.

This script alone is not very useful. I was thinking about writing a collection of scripts to gather different stats from the repository history. However, it would be a different project altogether, not a part of Git. The Future Git should be portable and shiny ;)
