I believe Andreas is asking a valid question. It would be kind of a waste to spend so much time and effort on a utility that will only help 5 people. If this is a graduate school thesis or research project or something similar, the more people he can state he is helping the better a case he can make for funding and such. I say there are hundreds of programmers that would benefit from his work and possibly hundreds more in the future that will also benefit from the development of such accessibility by his research team. C'mon guys, wink wink, nudge nudge.

I don't want a member list. My research lab is looking to determine approximately how many blind computer programmers are even out there at all. The NFB tells me it doesn't take statistics on it, neither do equivalent organizations in england or canada. Asking for raw membership numbers, unconnected to individuals, doesn't seem particularly intrusive to me ...
