For Synchronet there's a utility from a few years back called Syncdoor that parses door usage from Sync's log files. It just tallies up the number of times each door was ran and outputs the counts to a monthly or yearly ANSI/text file, and has config options for selecting color of the output. Really basic and doesn't require having to run a program to maintain the counts. The author of  wrote a couple other utilities for parsing other info from the logs as well.

I used Syncdoor for about a year before I decided I wanted something more customizable, so I ended up writing my own script which not only tracks top door usage, but also tracks top user stats (callers, posters, readers, downloaders, etc). Obviously this is more than it sounds like you're interested in, but it's definitely possible to track only door usage from Sync's logs.

It's on git if you want to try it and maybe customize if for your needs:
