demerphq,
I can see where making this information available in a database (as simple as SQLite for instance) offsite being a policy problem. With a couple slight modifications, it might be a bit more feasible:

• Forget the frontpaged flag
• Break things out in buckets by day, such as 2004-12-25
• The next level of buckets would be node type
• The last level of buckets would be reps and corresponding counts

I was expecting to do the breakout work off-site though.
