Working copy of src is around 1.7GB with 267k files and 40k directories.
Working copy of pkgsrc is around 334MB with 99k files and 27k
directories.

A cvs2svn trace of src from a while ago ended up with round 240k revisions.
The src tree itself is 3.9GB. The pkgsrc tree on the other hand is
913MB.

Typically a few dozen for each.

Maybe 20-30 developers with regular commits (e.g. typically at least one
commit per week).
