Probably Tim Andersion (818). Giannyl has 770. Kiteman has 470. These numbers are as of 15 November 2010.
You could write yourself a Perl script to figure it out. For each Instructables user, access their "statscard" data (.../member/statscard/?screenName=username), and parse out the numbers after "Subscribers".
Given the number of Instructables members, you should contact Staff directly before hammering their servers with this sort of query.
Nothing wrong with that. Whether you put value on the number of your subscribers, the people who do the subscribing are putting value on you, and such a patch is a recognition of that for the person who receives it.
On the up side, though, I don't believe there an easy way to get them all, so the hypothetical script kiddie would have a pretty short input list :-) Security through obscurity, always the best defense!
Maybe. I just did a quick by-hand check -- of the top ten in views, only five of the authors have more than 100 subscribers, and only three are major targets (of which one is The Kipkay). I'm sure there's a correlation, but you're probably right that the top 100 or 1000 I'bles would be needed to get a decent distribution.

I would say that subscribers aren't everything, but I have already designed a special patch for #500...
Yes, I know, but,,,

*ahem* woops
A perl script like this would take a LONG time to run, there are thousands and thousands of instructables members :)

Said script kiddie would be wise to scrape the top 1000 ibles by views/rating to get his/her list of eligible contenders.
