It's probably best that it's not terribly well-documented right now since it's all going to change in 2.2.0... ;-)
Configure "Statistics" to refer to a Berkeley DB, such as:
Statistics db:/var/db/opendkim/stats.db
Initialize that database before trying to use it:
opendkim-stats -i /var/db/opendkim/stats.db
Then restart opendkim and you should see that database begin to grow a little with each message you receive, even unsigned ones.
You can see what information is recorded by checking the man page for opendkim-statistics(8), which is in the opendkim directory. That's also the tool you use to extract data for your own use or for export to us. There's a flag to conceal domain names and IP addresses if you'd rather not share that information. This is done via a one-way hash so that multiple messages from the same domain can be correlated without revealing exactly what they are.
Once you have some data, run:
opendkim-stats -a -c -m <my-address> <path-to-stats-db>
That will mail me your anonymized data. (Leave off "-a" if you don't mind exposing your mail information.) If the output of that looks OK, we can set it up to send via cron so we get a regular feed of your data and add it to our statistics.
Let me know if you need any more information.
