Seb answered me and I now have a clear understanding of the problem, and it's not as simple as it looks.

Empty team stats in this Milkyway sprint are not due to "temporary problem of Milky server" but the webRPC API (standard documented boinc) that Seb is using to fetch the team stats, that should ...

I sent a PM to Sebastien on our forum yesterday but I don't have any feedback yet...

It seems team stats are still not displaying, though, I see nothing below the header. For user I have stats.
