Lichess gaussian (?) rating distribution

Hello lichess developers and users;

I'd like to know what is the rating distribution here on lichess. Is it gaussian like this sample? http://www.bkgm.com/faq/gif/rating-curve.gif

I think that only accounts with N+ games (with N >= 100) should be considered for this statistic. Is it available anywhere?
Without actually inspecting the data I can tell you that it's almost definitely a normal distribution with mean 1500. Couldn't tell you the SD though, I guess it's about 200 points.
