I met a Gentoo developer at the Minnebar conference last Saturday and learned that there are about 200 people working on Gentoo and about 1000 people working on Debian.  I understand that the productive Linux Mint team is surprisingly small, though I have no idea how small.  (50?  20?  10?  Even fewer?)

What exactly defines the size? How many people commit changes per 
day/week/month/year - or in total? Or how many people could make changes?

You really get different numbers...
