There has been at least one study which gave indications why people stop contributing (main reason given was time). I don't think that we are imagining things nor do can I see anything special about OSM in this respect (a couple of examples have already been given, another one from me: SCUBA diving, an incredible number of people have done it at least once, still there is only a low number that actually make it a real hobby, much to the frustration of the people in the business :-)). As to how many mappers get a welcome, given that I on my own do roughly 1% of all new mappers (aka 1000/year) for SOSM, I suspect that in total we are talking of a higher double digit percentage.
