Nobody does. We don't have figures from other ISPs or larger carries to
compare with either. Just from conversations with ISPs and VPN
providers, we don't see more abuse than they do. Also, it fully depends
on your definition of abuse (complaints).

This is (still) a nice research question, and I'm happy to help with a
nice database of complaints. I'm sure other torservers.net operators
would help as well. Obviously one can't simply count the number of
complaints, as you need to take (at least) throughput and exit policy
into account.
