What evidence shows that the group is ever shrinking? I often see Self Introduction posts and new people interacting with project. I suppose that whether they continue interacting afterwards is another question.
I'm glad you asked. Earlier this week I decided to avoid doing other work by putting together some quick charts of devel list participation. Here's the number of unique participants per month from 2004–2022: https://bcotton.fedorapeople.org/images/devel-participation-monthly.png

Could we have the same graph for discourse (and Fedora telegram and Fedora matrix)? It'd be interesting to see what percentage of active communicating users are active on the mailing list.
