Contributions summary:Lindsey's contributions focus on enhancing the CockroachDB server-side functionality, specifically around index statistics. They implemented a new RPC endpoint to retrieve table index statistics, enabling the frontend to display index usage information on the table details page. This involved creating new protobuf definitions, modifying existing API endpoints, and integrating SQL queries to fetch the required data from the database. Furthermore, the user added functionality to the frontend, including an index stats table and a button to clear index usage stats.
