I'm not sure what's the question. If you're asking why I answered
"No", it's because there's no place that API changes and other
significant changes are *always* discussed. *Usually*, they're
discussed on lkml or other relevant mailing lists. Sometimes (rarely,
thank $DEITY), they only show up in the commit logs.
 
If you're asking if reading lkml is useful - I think so (wouldn't be
doing it otherwise..), but having a good mailer and a sense of what's
important / relevant and what not so you can read selectively is a
must.

The IRC channel and mailing list are alive and well. The website is
suffering from lack of maintainer time, which is a shame.
