One thing that has become apparent over the last few years attending LGM and the GSoC mentors meeting is that Inkscape has a much smaller and less active community that other similar Open Source projects. (While not exactly comparing oranges to oranges, Drupal has 30,000 code contributors.)
Here is the number of committers with the number of commits for the last year based on "bzr log -v". Note some people appear on more than one line. This is fewer than Martin's analysis shows.
