...like these issues?: ;o)

https://lists.debian.org/stats/debian-user.png
https://lists.debian.org/stats/
https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://lists.debian.org/stats/

..checking post with "systemd" in the Subject line, I found 10 in 2018,
143 in 2017, 201 in 2016, 493 in 2015, 2760 in 2014, 98 in 2013 and 128
in 2012. And I missed quite a few:
