If you want to compare on contributors Rails would again beat most open source projects , I remember seeing that number well above 1000
Last count: 2155 as per http://contributors.rubyonrails.org :)
Some of us on that list haven't contributed in a really long time.
My contributions for example were pre rails 1.0 days so my part of that number isn't really meaningful to current popularity.
I often fork repos to remind myself that I want to contribute to it, but then don't find the time to get started on it. I can imagine there being more people doing that.
