So you won't be making it available for download? That's, for example,
what the Perl Review is doing: http://www.theperlreview.com/ . Making
issues available in PDF (incidentally, also produced with (La?)TeX).
And if you wanted to count the number of people who want to read it,
you could analyse the web server log files ;)

But if you want names behind your readers, then I suppose requesting it
is the only way to go. Still seems a bit complicated; some people might
be scared off by the requesting process while otherwise they might say
"oh, why not, let's download this PDF and have a look at it, maybe this
conlang thing is interesting".
