None of the projects I visit use proprietary communications tools, they are all on IRC (OFTC/Libera) and or mailing lists.

Is there a place people can sign up for the mailing list or find the IRC details?

There are hundreds of projects like that. One example:

https://wiki.debian.org/IRC https://lists.debian.org/

Do you find these mailing lists helpful or there’s more noise that requires you to filter out? I’m on a few & don’t seem to get much value from an open source maintainer perspective.

The lists and IRC are where everything happens.
