The debian-powerpc@l.d.o mailing list is active so I would say it
still has some users. I have been using partch.d.o for doing some work
on PowerPC. I posted a summary of work people have been doing on this
port lately:

However I do agree that true PowerPC hardware is actually
disappearing, and it is alive mostly thanks to being an ABI using
32bits integer for PPC64 CPU(s).
