I had one "request" that was not really a request but just somebody who
lives near me and wanted to say hello.
Then there was one request that was actually a server-related support
questio, which I redirected to the appropriate mailing list.
So far, I had only one real request.

So, for me, 2/3 of the requests should be discarded from the statistics.
With a ticketing system, I could give each request a status that you can
filter on.
