The relevant metric isn't how many people voted, but how many people are eligible to vote - which is a much much larger number than 200. Finding 20 out of the eligible voter pool is a pretty low bar.
For what it's worth, the Swiss requirement for a referendum is 50000 signatures, equivalent to approximately 0.5 percent of the total population and 0.9% of the registered voters. It is surprising how such a small percentage can initiate a political process in a reasonably well working political system. On the other hand, in absolute numbers this threshold is not that small---it would take a decent-size municipality or a small region of aggrieved folks to trigger a referendum.
I am not sure what would be an appropriate number in Fedora's situation: 1% would be just two people, which doesn't sound reasonable; even 20 seems smallish, but given that 100 constitutes a democratic majority there just isn't that much space in that interval.
