Description

Similar to the plugin directory, it'd be useful for the pattern directory to track stats on which patterns are installed.

That could help the w.org front-end directly display popular patterns, etc.

This could be done by sending a list of installed pattern IDs to api.w.org when Core checks for updates, which is how it's done for plugins.

It's not clear yet how patterns will be "installed", since inserting a pattern into a post could detach it from the canonical version on w.org. The designs might include a way of "favoriting" a w.org pattern, or similar.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. First clarify how patterns are considered installed or favorited and how their IDs should be sent to api.w.org during Core update checks; done means an agreed tracking design that can support popular-pattern statistics.
