Georg's comment on the other bug:

Ok, the use counter mechanism is documented here:
https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/toolkit/components/telemetry/telemetry/collection/use-counters.html

We should make sure to clearly call out the collection on release there and that data is included in the main ping.

In the main ping documentation, we should call out in the histogram section that use counters are part of the histogram data and link to the use-counter article:
https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/toolkit/components/telemetry/telemetry/data/main-ping.html#histograms

You can find the docs here:
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/telemetry/docs

You can build and view them using `mach doc`.
