So its 2. And its mailing lists in general. Lots of Twitter, 
Stackoverflow, and other channels are used nowadays. community.plone.org 
tries to replace the users list. Even Plone Developers list is not used 
that frequent any more. IRC is still used, but i.e. most team meeetings 
are google hangouts - where in past an IRC discussion was. Lots of 
discussion happens directly on Github issues and Pull-Requests or even 
commit messages. We have more and different tools these days.

Is this bad? Well, imo no. It improves a lot. Theres just not the one 
place to go anymore.
