As for myself, I can say that I've only very recently "re-engaged". Also, as Darren Duncan noted, having clearly delineated and well spirited "discussion" threads might also have something to do with it. Also for me, email is a much better medium for discussion that GH. I did read the comments there on this PR; but mainly because we were invited to do so. If the positive atmosphere can be maintained, and I think it can be. you'll probably see a lot more in the future.
