The list has 496 subscribers right now. (speaking as one of postmaster@).

From my observation, the last few month led to a huge pile of
workload on many folks that are involved with FreeBSD stuff, so
not many folks had time to reply/think things through/answer.
I had the same problem...

I see doc-stuff happen mostly on reviews.freebsd.org. (speaking
as one of phabric-admins). Pau Amma is the most active docs-person
as far as I can see. I have not calculated stats, just my gut feeling.
