Hi :)
There is nothing new in this.
People providing User Support or Technical Support through these mailing
lists have never been recognised as being a useful part of TDF or the
LibreOffice community.
Similarly the Documentation Team and some others get no recognition nor
support from TDF.
So there is no reason to expect any of these mailing lists to close or
change at all.
I don't know why the Ask 'Bot' thing is different. It was a new and
'trendy' thing that users were allegedly finding much more normal and
easier to use. Many of the people doing the actual work of answering
questions found it painful because there was no way for them to chat or
help each other out so it was difficult to build-up team spirit or learn
from each other and so on. So it's a very desolate and isolating system
that is not much fun for volunteers.
Another advantage here is that we sometimes get feedback on the quality of
our answers or on how well we welcomed people in to the community or
whatnot.
I get the impression that this mailing-list is more rewarding without
needing some fake points system to rate us and to potentially create
divisions and stuff like that. I guess the AskBot needs the points&badges
system because it's the only feedback they can get.
Regards from
a Tom :)

On the "Projects" list, there is a link to the claiming of badges.
One thing I saw was the fact that people who help others in this list is
not counted for claiming badges. I do not use "Ask LibreOffice", yet, that
is the only place to help users if you want to claim a badge. As I said, I
do not use Ask LibreOffice, just the email list service. There are a lot
people here that help users. I do not know how many of these users are
answering these questions over the ones who answering on Ask LibreOffice.
If only the people using Ask LibreOffice get recognized for helping
others, it seems to me that people who help others on this list are not
counted as helping others. Are these lists no longer the place to help
users and will be dropped soon? That is the only way I can get my head
around the fact that the helpers are not counted in the "badge page"
