Interesting, thanks.

That number is enough for an order of magnitude calculation. Assume
that Debian is indicative of Linux at large, and that Debian's market
share is ~15%. That makes ~10,000 downloads. Assume that the number of
people who download JED but don't use it exceeds the number that
install it in multi-user systems. I think we can reasonably estimate
between 500 and 5,000 JED users.
