At the moment we have 11 "contributors", including Richard and Alex. I think we can safely assume that not all of these people are going to be regular contributors - everyone starts with the best of intentions, but interest is going to wane after time. I think we can assume a maximum of ten people contributing in the long term, with only about half that number genuinely working on the project on a regular basis. Even those numbers seem quite optimistic to me, and they don't sound like they're going to lead to chaos. Pyglet isn't GNOME or the Linux kernel. It's a fairly small project, with a small number of users. Switching to a DVCS is a technical solution to a social problem that doesn't exist, and I think it's distracting from the discussion we ought to be having, which is that of the future of the project in general.
