It does if your team is world-wide.

Does Gecko really need more than 100 people?

We are talking about a fking browser! Even microsoft dropped the ball on that one, it’s that complex of a problem!
Firefox is 20 million lines of code. What do you think?
How many of those 750 are actually developers?
Firefox != Gecko and I maintain a 200,000 lines of code product alone no problem, so I think possible.
