I stick with Greg's estimate of "about 200" that he did for 7.4.  That
included:

core contributors
minor patch submitters
beta testers (the ones who submitted bug fixes)
key contributors to closely associated projects (like JDBC, ODBC, and
OpenFTS)

It was a lot of research on his part which is why I don't want to do it
again.
