PayPal donations are split among the developers and are used to cover direct costs of development (for example code signing certificates and web hosting).

TortoiseSVN is developed by Stefan and a group of volunteers. You can look at some statistics of the TortoiseSVN project to get an idea how much work each of us does, this also includes previous contributors.
