Regarding Potlatch user numbers, here are some more stats:

<http://osm.townsendjennings.com/potlatch.html>

Looks like 300+ users per week are still submitting ~2,000 changesets with 
200k-400k edits via Potlatch (as counted by ‘%potlatch%’ in the created_by tag).

The downward trend in numbers looks bad when compared to 2013, but 300+ mappers 
per week is still quite a lot!
