You might want to take a look at Gentoo's Bugzilla charts and statistics: http://bugs.gentoo.org/report.cgi For a start, have a look at "Old Charts" link and create statistics for new, resolved and fixed bugs. These numbers show clearly that Gentoo is very alive. The statistics here: http://www.gentoo-portage.com/Statistics also show that the number of packages doesn't stagnate as it would on a dying distro.
