There is a limit to the number of entries you can have in a group.
Off the top of my head I think it was around the 255 mark. To get around this you can use nested groups.
In your case you could create another group called develop2 and another called develop3 and develop4 and so on...
Then you would remove users from the develop group and add them to develop2, develop3, develop4 ..etc . then you add develop2 develop3 develop4 to develop
So your develop groups would look something like this.
