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.

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...
