Being this specific puts us in the unfortunate situation of updating this document all the time and then getting translators to do the same :(
@mikeal I think these two (modified) comments would be okay in that respect
...but in a few months attracted...
^ This limits to a certain timeframe, and removes the past-up-to-present tense "had," which itself would limit future use.

^ This gives a specific start time, giving an exact frame of reference for the reader. A few words would need to be updated to increase magnitude of the active developers as time goes on, but less than the other options I presented.
With regard to how it's currently worded, it's not future proofed as-is. If someone presents this in 10 months, it will read clearly as older and/or outdated.
