Am I just imagining it, or is there a definite increase in people never heard from
before mounting attacks on list regulars?

Indeed, someone must have posted the list address to "Mother Jones" or "Utne Reader" or somesuch. A lot of people unfamiliar with crypto, with crypto politics, or even marginally familiar with the issues of Clipper, Echelon, Carnivore, and liberty have appeared recently.

I don't "list regulars" are exempted from attacks, but newcomers should at least know what the issues are.

Most of the newcomers don't, and don't care that they don't know.

Their motives are obvious.
