I think support for the 6.x version of this module is frozen where it is (unless someone wants to take on and contribute back a complete backport of the API).
I'd like to land on solutions for, test, and release the following features, ideally by end of Q1 2012.
7.x-1.2
- #1839090: Call to undefined function drupal_get_path()
- #1879726: Should statistics be collected on every page?
7.x-1.3
7.x-1.4
- #1757640: Use Views in place of Core Statistics reports
- #1960704: Allow collection of access statistics asynchronously
At this point, I'd consider the module more or less feature complete and begin work porting to Drupal 8. The 8.x-1.x version must include, at minimum, all of the functionality ripped out in #1446956: Remove the accesslog from statistics. However, I'd also like to take the opportunity to make all "core" accesslog fields optional.
