the reason I'm asking is that I'm trying to get a feel of how much this will impact the available manpower. Was Jonathan 10% of the manpower or 50%.

His time will be missed, but is this a "ouch, let's move on" or a death blow?

Previously on rotation

Last year Jonathan Riddell was on rotation to the Bazaar DVCS team and so a similar situation arose for a six-month period during mid-2011 aswell: Kubuntu 11.10 somehow survived that release too!

Depending on final exams schedules, I'd estimate 8-12 people work on Kubuntu.
