Man-hours of labor in SDL?

Would anyone care to ballpark the number man-hours of labor invested in
developing and supporting the Linux, Mac and Windows versions of SDL
and PyGame ?

How many people have worked full-time substantially on developing SDL
and PyGame, and for what durations ?

I am looking for a rough estimate of the sum effort involved.

Best,

Allen

It’s really hard to say, but it’s on the order of 5000 man-hours or more.
