That way, at the very least, when people drop out and the art is sent back to me, they are still inspired by someone but don't say: "To: xxxx From: nycfem" on them.
In regard to how many people participate, I'm for leaving it up to the wrangler. There's some pros and cons to small and large lists.

I second this Emotion. 
THEN, if your piece IS returned, you have the option of dealing with the dropout personally ~ LATER. One on one does not delay those waiting with bated breath. 
“Shall I bend low and, in a bondman’s key, / With bated breath and whisp’ring humbleness, "
/ Say this ...”.
Shakespeare
“Every eye fixed itself upon him; with parted lips and bated breath the audience hung upon his words, taking no note of time, rapt in the ghastly fascinations of the tale”
Mark Twain
