Just for information. I have contacted (as earlier agreed) developers who have not been active for quite a while, with the mail below.
I am every month monitoring the rate of new people entering the project, compared to people who have not added patches for a while, and the relation is slowly improving. Bear in mind it is natural that volunteers come and go, depending on the time and energy they have available so this is not a measure if the project grows but simply a "change rate". rgds jan i.
