Re: Miguel de Icaza is a great coder, and will always be so
What is far from certain is that among those 34 there is even a single FOSS developer who has actually contributed any code anyone cares about it.
Btw - code isn't the only way to significantly contribute to a project. Other ways are just as valuable to OSS projects, sometimes even more so at strategic times. ;) eg: Writing user docs, doing solid QA/testing/reporting, project co-ordination, etc.
As for projects people are involved in, here's one I've been putting time into for a while:
https://github.com/sqlitebrowser/sqlitebrowser
As a measure of usage, it's about 150k downloads a month (and trending upwards), which isn't too bad:
https://api.github.com/repos/sqlitebrowser/sqlitebrowser/releases
