Unluckily you are being misled by the numbers, which are not wrong, but you do have to understand how they were produced.
See https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/SimonPoole/diary/20524 or similar numbers from Pascal Neis for indications of what is really going on. And while I haven't updated my charts yet this year, I have already produced numbers for January and February 2014. January showed the largest increase in contributors in a month to date in the history of OSM and the second largest total number of monthly active contributors. Not exactly indicating that we have an issue. The contributors/accounts ratio has gone up and down a bit over time, but that is more likely mainly due to external effects, the contributor numbers show a steady, slightly increasing over time, growth.
