At first: I disabled the Serverpart until I have done some chagnes. (I just 
thought it would be cool to not only track official packages but all; this 
could be helpfull to see what is popular in AUR). I'll send an mail when it 
finally can be used.

I save the following:

* The users arch, ip and time of submission
* I count every package per arch

There is nothing we can do prevent anyone from abusing it. But I hope Archers 
are all cool people. :-) And: the more people will submit their lists the 
better are the results.
