The Linux Foundation has a report every year about this detailing this
type of information.  Also, lwn.net reports on this every kernel
release, see those articles for details.

Oh, and as a teaser, for the past year of releases, 2.6.36 - 3.1.0
(October 2010 to October 2011) there was 2889 different developers who
got patches accepted into the Linux kernel codebase.
