I came across this module while searching about a functionality gap in shurly (which I'm using to build a custom short url service for some of my sites). Shurly includes a report for counting click-throughs but I want to know more ... and was thinking of a module that would provide redirect analytics reporting for all the modules that do redirects.

By "analytics" I mean capturing the referring URL, browser information, time stamps, etc... I want to know the redirect rate over time (5 one day, 10 another day, and so on). ?? Is there a way to use Google Analytics for capturing and reporting the data?

I see this module says it has a click-through counter. That's great and Shurly has that but after a month of using Shurly I'm seeing this is a feature gap.

Are there any plans to add to the reporting in this module? If not, does anyone know if Google Analytics can capture visits to the "From" URLs?

Only page hits are recorded if cache is disabled, and that has already performance implications.

Google Analytics couldn't work because HTML is not delivered to the browser, so the Google Analytics JavaScript file is not loaded at all.

Reporting functionality like that is out of the scope of this module (IMHO). But can be implemented in contrib modules and eventually merged if that turn to be useful to a majority.

Spoke to @Berdir on slack and he indicated his preference was to keep this as a contrib, so I have spun off the following contrib: https://www.drupal.org/project/redirect_metrics.
