I am aware of the [0/2] checkbox summary in parent heading, but how could one get the same going for [(total TODO)/(total DONE)] ?
Just put the [/] cookie in the upper level heading and then this will be updated with [(total DONE)/(total TODO)] each time you change the status of a subheading. For example:
** My heading [2/4]
*** DONE bake cake
CLOSED: [2015-05-17 Sun 13:24]
*** DONE make tea
CLOSED: [2015-05-17 Sun 13:24]
*** TODO drink tea
*** TODO eat cake
If the cookie is not up-to-date, move the cursor to the cookie and type C-c C-c to update.

3And if you use
C-u C-c C-cit will update all the cookies at once. It can also be useful to set theCOOKIE_DATAproperty torecursiveto count subtasks of subtasks. – erikstokes May 18 '15 at 2:43
Side comment -- If you're exporting your task list to HTML, you might be interested by the dashboard of my theme Bigblow [1] (which I'll try to add into ReadTheOrg as well). There, you can easily see counts of items, and even highlight them.

Took a look, very nice, no immediate use for me - I use org mode for README's on Github primary – Darryl Hebbes Jun 9 '15 at 21:37
