Yes, it include all users who have used activated their user account in some way after 2015-01-01 00:00:00.
Merely reading pages while logged-in usually will not trigger such "touch". Logging in, changing preferences, and other actions do set the touch timestamp however. Remember that user sessions don't last forever. Currently, Wikimedia wikis have a session expiration of 30 days. This means users visiting frequently will still "log in" at least once 30 days if they want to remain logged-in while visiting.
As included below, I also ran the same query for users active since 2015-03-01. This helps to get a sense of the drop off (or "comeback").

Timo - so to clarify these are users who have logged in since 2015-01-01 ?
It is possible to get a sense of whether they come back? e.g. What if someone registered on 2015-01-01, switched to Monobook and never came back - are they included?

I specified that in the original mail but I guess that got lost:
"Active" here relates to the MediaWiki user_touched database field. This is set whenever the user logs in, as well as after various other actions that users can perform.

Timo, would you please clarify on the definition of "active"?

Can you clarify what "active" means? Does that mean users visiting the page on a daily basis or does it relate to editors or something else?
I'm keen to understand if some of these accounts are dormant and unused or are frequently logged into.

Hi,
I think it was Joaquin, Sam, and Bryan with whom I discussed relative skins usage on some popular skins, in the context of which skins Reading is on the hook for in the sense of full maintenance or high priority fixes (even if only coordinating) when issues arise. Here's that data, based on some queries Timo ran recently (thanks, Timo!).
