ask.fedoraproject.org lives on Fedora infrastructure, is maintained by the Fedora infra team, has a fedoraproject.org domain name, and carries the Fedora branding (to some extent, anyway, and iirc there is better branding in some state of progress).  It uses the EPEL askbot package, also largely maintained by fedora-infra folks.  You can log into the site with your FAS account.  It is even cited in the footer of every message on this list. 

A third party is definitely not running this site, and a boilerplate disclaimer that user supplied content on the site is not the product of Fedora or Red Hat as legal entities should not be confusing.

As for the rest, well, everyone has preferences.  Lists are conversational, and that doesn't play well in a Q&A site structured for directly addressing a given issue.  I'm glad that people that prefer lists and people that prefer fora both have a place to go.

Also, I didn't want to ruin the joke, but shouldn't it be /var/credits ? :P
