I think we have a selection bias in responses here. I've had a number
of conversations with people who have talked about how they like to be
involved in design decisions and keep up with the RFC style emails,
but end up ignoring this list because of all the patches flying past,
or feel intimidated into not getting involved due to all the code
discussion.

Maybe this just means we need to use the -users list more for these
things, but that may suffer similar problems for different reasons.

If I was to try to make the plural of anecdote be data.... then I
would characterize these people as busy sysadmins who aren't spending
their days writing lots of Ruby, aren't particularly interested in
doing code reviews, but are interested in helping shape the
development of the product at a higher conceptual level.
