Has there? I'm not really seeing a significant change in the number of
people making changes in dist-git over time. See attached svg. Maybe a
little down from 2013-2016, but seems mostly flat 2016-2019.
It's not significantly growing, which may be a problem itself, but let's not
get over-dramatic without evidence.

Also see the Contributors by Week graph here
https://mattdm.org/fedora/fedora-contributor-trends/active-contributors-b...
although note I don't have that broken out with _just_ dist-git activity (it
also includes bodhi karma and wiki edits).
Again, not seeing the growth I'd love, but I also don't see a contributor
crisis.
