I was assuming hackage's downloads showed unique ips. That seems much
more useful at least. If not, the lens method would also be double
counting every time someone created a sandbox or upgraded ghc.

Of course, this is not a good approximation for the number of haskell *programmers* because many people will have multiple installs going. For example, I have 4 installations (3 work + my laptop). It's probably best to think of this number as an upper bound.
Also, services like Travis will download a fresh set of dependencies on every commit.
