Are there any plans to gather anonymous statistics regarding calibre usage?

I think it might be interesting to have an option to have calibre anonymously upload usage info such as device type, newsfeeds configured/read, book formats used, etc...

If the software used a unique id, that didnt have any personal data associated, you'd also have a good idea about the number of users of calibre.

This type of feature is something you'd have to enable during the installation/upgrade of the software allowing the user to opt-out if they chose to do so. The number of users might not be 100% accurate, but would still be interesting.
