Honestly, IMO namecoin is quite dead at this point.  There is virtually no development anymore, the chain itself is full of spam and is borderline unusable for it's intended purpose anyway, adoption is virtually nil, etc.  It's pretty pointless these days.  Cool concept, poor execution.  

That said, I have no inclination to waste more resources on namecoin related things than I already am. (Ie, never going to code stats for it.)

Edit: Going to edit that second post to better reflect the current state of affairs.
