I like this statistic. Even if the first version of the report that has
the multiple addresses listed seperately would be fine, and a quick
post-processing script with a list of "aliases" can be devised.
If a set of sample data can be provided to work with we can develop and
test this on local machines too. I don't have access to do this.
Who can make a first attempt at this?

I agree. Bug closers is relevant, indicates activity and is valid. For
those developers that don't think this is representative of their work,
they have a choice to put more bugs through the system for them to
close. This may increase the bug system activity level but it's public
communication and incrases communication with the users that choose to
look into the matters. I feel it rewards the right results: closing
bugs.
