Concerning the Italian language mailing list, one of the reasons of the 
decline is the formation of the national chapter; a large share of the 
posts to the list have moved to the chapter mailing list - most of the 
people active on wikiit-l are members anyway; I appealed once for having 
it.wikipedia relevant posts on wikiit-l, but it's often hard to draw a 
line for what concerns the wiki and what concerns the chapter - really 
wiki-specific things are on the village pump anyway. This won't 
necessary apply to other languages spoken in more than one country 
(Italian-speaking Swiss are less than 1% of the population of Italy), 
but even wikipedia-l posts have now moved to foundation-l (including 
many flames).

I don't know about the other lists, but most posts on pywikipedia-l are 
machine generated (new versions of the bot), so it is hard to judge its 
performance.
