I think the number is way off. AFAICS at http://www.ohloh.net/p/lilypond/enlistments?page=2, they counted all stable branches as separate.
Last time I looked lilypond was around 100k lines of code (a quick look says it 200k now; I suspect the GNU headers as a cause). 390 man years looks exaggeratedl, since I wrote most of it (at least before 2007), and it took me much less than 300 years. Realistically, lilypond may represent 20-40 man years, considering I must have put in well over 10 personally.
