a. How many developers are there?( approximate number)
We're an open source project. Developers come and go so there is no fixed number.
b. Are there many downloads?
Yes.
c.Are there many bugs which still have not been fixed? (no of them/total no of bugs)
Yes. Some are quantified here: http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/bugs/testing/.
d. What type of commercial support does the project have?
Some companies donate money to the project so we may pay more attention when they have a problem but there are no SLA's.
e. Is the project backed by a vendor? (name of vendor)
ImageMagick Studio LLC.

I would like to add that ImageMagick is probably one of the more feature packed general image processing systems for both UNIX and windows. That is for the batch processing of images from the command line.

There are other systems but these are often tied in complex and difficult to use ways with graphical image editors, which makes it difficult to use in a non-graphical setting such as web servers and batch processing environments.
