Just curious to know about total number of linux kernel developers in the world
who contribute to linux kernel codebase. Any wiki or webpage which mentions
about it?

The Linux Foundation has a report every year about this detailing this
type of information.  Also, lwn.net reports on this every kernel
release, see those articles for details.

Oh, and as a teaser, for the past year of releases, 2.6.36 - 3.1.0
(October 2010 to October 2011) there was 2889 different developers who
got patches accepted into the Linux kernel codebase.
