We have deeper graphs. I want to be sensitive to our product team's time, but I am sure they will share when they can.
The short answer -- I believe -- the the community tends to gravitate towards its current state and loose new editors at a higher rate. This is not unusual in general of course -- what is concerning is the delta in those rates. So we also need to understand the differences in the loss between now and say 5 years ago when rules of engagement, dynamics and overall state of the internet where different, and how that influenced retention.
Again, I am still learning, and our PMs may correct me on this :)

Hi Frederico
Neither of those answers my question. I doesn't tell me whether we are bleeding new or old members. The reason for an editor of either group to leave are different. All that that graph shows is that there has been a frightful drop since 2007.

Do we have any figures on retention of new editors?
https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special% 3ASearch&profile=advanced&search=retention&fulltext= Search&ns202=1&profile=advanced
How long does the
average new editor stay? What percentage of new editors stays on for 6 months; one year; two years? Do we have these figures for all languages?
In the end what retention matters for is http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/ TablesWikipediansEditsGt5.htm
