If its not used that means people don't sent mails there, but we still have 
many users (all kplato users for example) and many devs are subscribed there.
For that reason I don't agree with your conclusion that it should take longer 
for people get no answer. Many people probably see an email before they see a 
forum post. At least I do.
Looking at the archives your fear is also not what is happening.

I agree with that, but these two are not mutually exclusive.

You don't have to put time into the user list if you don't want to. If there 
are no emails being sent to the list members don't get annoyed. Essentially I 
don't understand the drive to take away the option for others to do things the 
way it works for them. Especially if it doesn't harm you.

For the record, I'm on the list and I answer questions there whenever I can. Or 
ask other devs if there is no answer.
