Interesting. My, personal, informal view of the community is pretty much "those who are interested in Maemo" -- which would roughly translate to everyone on the mailing lists (-developer, -user, -community). For calibration purposes, how many people is that? I can see that others might prefer something closer to "those who contribute to the Maemo community" but I believe the community needs to also include the users.
