Comment (by karsten):

 Thanks for the review, dcf!

 I added another graph that contains all reprocessed numbers:

 [[Image(bridge-users-2020-04-07.png, 700px)]]

 Again, the numbers for China and Turkey changed most, but I believe that
 the new numbers are more correct than the old ones.

 I'll leave this ticket in needs_review for a week to see if there are any
 objections and then make the switch.
