Any ballpark estimates on the number of Mailman subscribers globally? Given that the FAQ mentions a list with 147,000 users, it seems safe to say that there are millions of Mailman users. What do you think?
Yes, there are several millions. Sourceforge.net probably has 3/400k (it would take a while to get the exact number), and a few other big sites have similar numbers too
I'd like a number for a grant report I'm writing.
I think you'llhave to stick to "several millions", this is open source software, and Barry doesn't receive per user license fees, so he can't count them either :-)
