I can't access the subscription interface of the mailing-lists anymore, 
so I don't know exactly. About 500 users for the user mailing-list, far 
less for the developer mailing-list. As for the number of mails, you can 
see it on the mailing-list archives on SourceForge. It gives you the 
number of mails by month. And maybe I will merge the developer and the 
user mailing-list. One mailing-list to rule them all!

You will tell me. There is 500 users ; each mails had a limit of 512 Kb; 
there is about 300 mails by month ; most of the mails are... let's say 
16 Kb. So: 16 x 300 x 500 ~= 2,4 Gb / month.
