I've been a RHL and FC user for quite some time. I've been on the mailing lists, and had bugzilla accounts for a long time now. But this mailing list is strangling itself. The volume is way too high. Look at the beginning of the Fedora Project and see how many Red Hat engineers regularly posted to this list, and now look at how many do (Tim Waugh and Dave Jones make an occasional appearance here these days, and we're lucky to have them). That's it. Who's driven them away? WE HAVE.
A good email-client may help you cope with the volume. Threading is a must.
The fedora mailinglist has become a general forum for all things Fedora (except development and testing related items, which have their own mailinglists). It makes sense that most of the developers are on fedora-test and fedora-devel, rather than on this list.
It is a normal evolution with any project to move from a single to many mailinglists. It is not a threat, it makes things more viable.
