My apologies, I don't quite understand. "In order to know if Special:EditGrowthConfig is used by communities, we now instrument page loads and saves of configuration." Is instrument a verb here? what does this sentence mean?

Yes, it’s a verb, see en:Instrumentation (computer programming). Since probably you’re not the only one who doesn’t know what it means, I went ahead and added the link to the newsletter as well.
My bad, I should have explained it a bit more. It is always the problem when you work on something for years: you get used to the vocabulary and hence you sometimes forget that it is not the case of everyone else. Sorry.
