FYI: some Working Group statistics available

TL;DR: if you are interested in some statistics about the current set of 
Working Groups, see <https://www.w3.org/wiki/WGStats>.

Michael Champion created some data [Raw] on Working Groups at the W3C 
and that data was ported to the following wiki document to facilitate 
browsing and sorting to facilitate answering Qs such as: which WGs are 
still open yet have an expired charter; how much e-mail traffic does a 
WG have; when was a WG's last publication; how many Technical Reports 
has a WG published in the last two years; etc.:

   <https://www.w3.org/wiki/WGStats>

What additional data would be useful?

I think it would be helpful if all groups maintained some type of 
roadmap / specification status document. However, I acknowledge that 
maintaining such data can take a relatively significant amount of time 
(especially for groups with many specs in progress). Additionally, a 
`normalized/consistent` view of spec status  for all WGs could be useful 
(provided each group has some flexibility to customize their data for 
their specific needs).
