About 100 -- of course many of them are folks like me who are too busy to fix 
bugs in their own lib :-(  Anyway, I believe this was suggested as a possible 
Library in a Week topic,  although I'd worry that no one would get up in the 
morning to do bug fixes.  I think the recognition idea is good -- maybe we 
could even have some awards (t-shirts or other swag) for the most prolific bug 
fixers.
