Same here... which is why I noticed!

If you look at the stats graph for those plugins you see them going
back a long time to what looks like before the extend/plugins system
was open and/or made public.  I'd assumed that these downloads are not
being counted on the stats page and are on the front page - or that
downloads are being counted from way before then.  It would give them
a slight head start!
