We do have that many contributors?

Not yet.

 

Where are they?

Good question, maybe they've been intimidated by all the specifics of Eclipse contribution process where most other projects standardize on the same process (GitHub, SemVer...). I think this is one example of what makes contribution barrier too high for some contributors - but not the main one, I admit.

 

And, whether the increase is 100 or 1 or 10, it needs to be known.

All other projects naturally increase by 1, so +0.0.100 is an Eclipse oddity that's not natural to potential new contributors.

But, sincerely: I don't think it's that important and it doesn't deserve spending so much time on it. I was mostly in a trolling mood when I started answering that thread.
