I don't think that the number of people on the mailing list represents the population of developers. If you could sanitize the data, it would be more useful to plot total number of true developers vs total number of code contributions from that population of developers.
I would be interested to see if that graph was linear for not.

Its corporate meaning is fading quickly, and for the younger, XBox generation, it is reduced to a generic, like Kleenex.
My opinion? Use the logo all you want in the generic way and thanks for the memories!
