I have to say that I have had just the opposite experience, I've found the community to be very welcoming and helpful both online and in person. Besides this list, you might look at the groups.drupal.org site to see if there are any local groups in your geographical area or project area. And if there is a Drupal Camp you can get to, it is well worth attending. Sometimes questions seem to go unanswered because they are lacking specific details.

Normally people on a mailing list have some degree of passion for their project. It appears that this is absent from the Drupal community. I participate in other OS mailing lists where people help each other and I help people when they have a problem I can assist with. But for a project that claims to have so many adherents like this I would have thought somebody could provide some assistance. Apparently not.
