I hope my recent survey could help this activity.

Please download and take a look for a first couple of files at this location.
URL:  http://www.retsu.info/files
File1: calc3CsvProjCommitterAcct.xlsx
File2: calc3CsvProjPatch.xlsx

The first Excel data shows you how 779 projects are patched by commit action.
Since one commit action could have several patch action against several different projects,
the number is counted based on patch(modify, add, rename, delete) action instead of commit.
This will help you to determine which projects are active and which are not active recently.

The second Excel data has the patch count per committer per project.
The patch count per project per committer is also available as you may find several worksheets in it.
This will help you to determine the maintainers for a specific project and how many patches the person committed.

Other two files, calc3.py and zopeSvnLog2.log.zip files are downloadable for the person who wants
to try to do it by oneself.  Just make a temporary directory, put these two files, unzip log file, 
run calc3.py with "./calc3.py" or "python calc3.py", open generated txt files with Excel or OpenOffice.org,
then sort/summarize/making chart etc within spreadsheets.

Just for your info:
* We(Me, Yuta, Ryosuke) have translated Philipp's "Web Component Development with Zope 3" book into Japanese.
First half was published last year, and later half was published a week ago.

* The last file on the download page, a zipped Excel files shows Zope developers world is growing continuously over past 14 years.
The code making activity is continuously growing.  Mailing list activity is also active though it was shrunk from the bubble.
This number is based on "commit", not "patch" since this does not concern project.
