You could:
 - track the download numbers
 - track the volume of messages on this list
 - count the number of "Lua + scripting" hits in a search engine
 - count the number of "Lua rules" hits in a search engine
 - offer some formal support and count how many people contact you

But... does it matter?  Or to put it differently: once you find out, what
would you do with that knowledge?
