We marked people inactive and asked that they explicitly activate themselves about 5 months ago so the number isn't too badly inflated with inactive members. That said, I can still think of reasons this number isn't 100% accurate (for instance, some people in the packager group might only be participating in non-package maintainance ways within the project now) :-) So take it with a grain of salt.
Also note, although package maintainers are the core of a distro a larger distro may have people in other, not necessarily overlapping, roles as well. There's also people who maintain the servers and people who create the web pages. If there's enough interest in the distro, there's also people who specialize in writing documentation, doing open source and distro outreach, etc. -Toshio
