Comment:

 Please review [https://gitweb.torproject.org/karsten/metrics-
 web.git/log/?h=task-21236 my branch task-21236] which contains a new data-
 processing module "webstats" and a new graph "Tor Browser downloads and
 updates".  That code produced the .csv and .png files above.  It also adds
 a graph page to Tor Metrics.

 One known issue that I didn't find time to fix yet is that locale
 detection is not always as precise as it could be.  Example from the .csv
 file: `2017-01-10,tmup,o,,0.3.0b1-0.3.0b2-linux32-en-US.xml,,3`

 Oh, and of course that code still contains an `if` block containing the
 line: `// TODO take me out after testing` which we really should do before
 merging.  But it's useful for testing.

 Ah, and there are no tests yet, but the code is in a relatively testable
 state.  We could write tests similar to the ones for the "connbidirect"
 module.
