Last time I checked the only options that were satisfying such requirement were KDE and Gnome. I would be happy to be proven wrong and we gained 10+ contributors for all the various desktops we ship.

Quantity doesn't tell the whole story.

There are projects that handle every bug report, and publish about
bi-weekly bug fix updates in Fedora. There are also projects in which
some members are quite public about never looking at the Fedora
bugzilla mail.

(From a quick look, and taking into the different number of current
users and existing history, it's unclear whether there is a noticeable
difference between Cinnamon and GNOME 3 with respect to Fedora-focused
maintenance manpower of the relevant packages.)
