Marshall, I don't think we can provide you with that information in that time frame. We could try, but not sure.
On the other hand, have you seen the project's profile on OpenHub? [1]. It provides lots of metrics about the projects activity, even developer-wise. You could take a look and see if it helps. One thing that might be missing is the mapping <individual> -> <company/institution>. We could help with that.
