Hi Milos,
I think you're overestimating the importance of this list, which is read by
only a small portion of the community. Many people in the wider community
have no idea this exists.
Best,

Let me second this. My department is thinking about community health
metrics (constructive suggestions welcome!), but I would not personally
propose mailing list participation (especially this list) as a good
metric
- decreased participation here may reflect many,
many things, only some
of
which are actually negative.
This is not the only one indicator, but it's pretty consistent since
2011 (take a look into [1]). In other words, something happened in
May. Maybe it's actually about the elections because people used other
means of communication for that.
