Have a look at http://www.ohloh.net/p/emacs which does nice analytics on
the VCS logs, especially at
http://www.ohloh.net/p/emacs/contributors/summary.  That says 203
contributors (not committers) in the last year, and 39 in the last
month.

Checking the list of all contributors of all times, it's about 500.  (29
pages of each 20 contributors, but there are some duplicates when people
changed their mail address, etc.)

According to http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/emacs/, there are
currently 165 project members that have push access to the bzr
repository.

Bye,
