Comment (by karsten):

 Relays report usage statistics, and directory authorities are relays.
 It's easy to make graphs for just directory authorities.  The reason why
 there are no such graphs covering only directory authorities on Tor
 Metrics is that I didn't see an immediate need for them.  The average user
 probably doesn't care, and whoever wants to run their own Tor network
 should be technically capable of generating these graphs on their own.

 But I'm open to change my mind about average users not caring: what
 specific graphs do you think would the average user want to see on Tor
 Metrics, and why?

 Going back to the start of this ticket, I don't think we need to gather
 new statistics in extent to what relays, including directory authorities,
 currently report.
