I suppose that Dough have on his mind some script/program/plugin
incorporated in mythtv directly. Not just sending emails to this mailing
list.
I would prefer opt in as some users are quite sensitive about sending
any information out.
Having option for ./configure is bad as user with package coming from
distribution will be opt in or opt out, without their own decision. The
decision made the packager.
I would suggest to have normal option in mythtv or mythtv-setup.
But the question is which information we want to gather. I see several
options:
a) capture card - option for opt-in can be in "Capture card setup" in
mythtv-setup
b) graphic card - option for opt-in has to be on frontend, I would suggest:
Setup -> Tv settings -> Playback -> 3rd page (profiles)
and beside information about device itself, used kernel module for this
device send profiles too.
c) anything else? lircd devices? remotees? which command is used for
playing videos and dvd (internal/mplayer/other)?

In first round it should be only statistics which devices and drivers
are used. Does not matter if they work correctly or not. If we find that
20% users have device XX then we can investigate what works and what not
works with these device.
The goal is not spending time on device which use only 10 users
(although it may we 10 users who are by coincidence loud on mailing list).
