I don't have historic data of the mailinglists. There are about 800 people 
subscribed to fpc-pascal and 500 fpc-devel subscription.

The forum post statistics provide some historic data:

http://community.freepascal.org:10000/bboards/statistics

There is also a non public pages to show new user registrations, which is 
currently between 50-70 new users/month. In total there are about 12000 
users, of which about 1081 have logged in during the last 365 days.

Further, there is the sourceforge download statistics, which have some 
history too.

Overall, I don't think we are doing bad.
