I don't really have a great idea. Something like

   https://support.bioconductor.org/t/rhdf5/?limit=This%20year

shows questions /t/agged with rhdf5 and asked this year (last 365 days), 
so total questions asked is pretty accessible; after that I'm not sure 
other than creative web scraping; the urls are easy to construct.
