My impression is that without your coordination effort, no one would ever try to organize that P-1 search
Research is 5% genius and 95% sweat, and here we are, working to put each and every exponent to its place.
As for stats, I know that people running distributed projects love daily checkouts to improve their standing position, sometimes looking for more power to pass their "neighbours". But also know that maintaining a regular stat page may turn into a burden, so if you don't have much spare time to devote to it, just forget it
