gmail-related research bleg

I saw a post some months ago (maybe a year ago?) in which the author had done some scans of debian list subscribers and found what percentage of list subscribers were using gmail. I can’t find the post now, though. Anyone remember who it was, and/or can point me to the post? Would be much appreciated. Thanks!
