Well - a quick executive summary:
$ grep "has joined" /tmp/libreoffice.log  |awk '{print $4 "\t" $1
"]"}' |grep 2011-12-2[567] |awk '{print $1}' |sort |uniq |wc -l
168
$ grep "has joined" /tmp/libreoffice.log  |awk '{print $4 "\t" $1
"]"}' |grep 2011-12-2[56789] |awk '{print $1}' |sort |uniq |wc -l
320

So attendance was quite satisfying - about 150 additional people[1]
stepped by, nearly doubling the regular visitors (atm there are 98
people & bots in the channel)
i.e. on the days prior to the bughunt, from Sunday to Tuesday, 168
different nicks joined the channel, when the bughunt days (Wed & Thu)
we see an additional 152 nicks that did not show up on the previous
days.

So from this level: Surely a success :-)) The banner & announcements
did serve its purpose.

[1] that is the lower number - if from the regular visitors fewer did
join on wed&thu, then more new people did join instead, but you also
have to take "same person, different nick" into account (auto-joins
after connection drops and similar), so that number is a fair guess.

Yeah, this is OK - maybe we should have prepared a thank-you banner...

Yes, but that also isn't necessarily a bad thing. While the actual
intention of the bughunt (reveal severe bugs in 3.5.0beta2) might not
have been the actual focus, I'm satisfied with how busy the channel
was. (although it was much more quiet on Thursday)

Oh, thank you for the flowers, although I myself didn't focus on the
3.5.0 hunt either (but rather took the opportunity to dig through
unconfirmed bugs) I tried my best to help out people asking questions
on the channel.

Scheduling a two-day event 24/7 basically was a major task - so kudos
for pushing it!
(although next time, we should make sure to have "fallback"-mentors available)

"Boring" wall-of-text data inline, as the list might strip all attachments:
List of "unique" visitors on bug-day (i.e. nicks that didn't show up
the three days before the bugdays) - I spot 12 nick-variants that are
clear duplicates at first sight from that list of 152 nicks. But
account for those that already joined on Tuesday, confusing the dates
and joining again on Thursday - doesn't really make that much of a
difference in this order of magnitude (and double-nicks of course also
happen in the previous days)

creating a by-country overview is rather tricky, as the hostmask would
have been translated to country.. So while somewhat possible, I'll
only look into it when asked again :-))
