I write here because I don’t want use Github, it is not a free software and it is not ethical.

Gitea is really great and its API swagger run well. But I need more entries to measure the general activity of my instance:

- account count: total, last month active count
- organization count: private, public, total
- repository count: total, private, public, forks, mirrors
- merge requests: total, open, closed
- issue count: total, opened, closed, issuers, locked
- datafiles: total in bytes, file count
- databases: total size

Actually, it is possible to compute them **but it requires many API requests and numerous walking in json files**.

So it will be **great if an API entry would return these data in only one request**. Moreover, since this information is anonymous, it could be provided without a token. For example, with `GET/stats`.

With all my thanks and encouragement 😃
