To summarise, my understanding is that BitBucket allows unlimited users for public repositories (our case), and the number of users for private repositories depends on the type of account.  Academic accounts (which need a unique academic email address, which cannot be associated with any other bitbucket account) can have unlimited private repositories, whereas "normal" accounts are limited to 5 unless you pay money.  This is better than Github, which does not allow any private repositories at all unless you pay money.

I created both "einsteintoolkit" and "cactus" BitBucket team accounts a while ago and put some Git mirrors of the current SVN repositories there for testing.
