It's weird that some language communities have a thriving wiki, and others simply do not. It doesn't seem to relate to community size, nor docs quality (e.g. the Emacs manual is great), nor the age of the language.

So far, all of the people trying difftastic with huge files have been using C or C++ source code. Maybe it's more common in those communities? (Difftastic will eventually fall back to fast, dumb, line-based diffing if you give it a multi-megabyte source file.)

Should we incentivise open source contributions more? "You use feature FOO a lot! You're probably an expert, have you considered helping with FOO issue triage on our bug tracker [link]?" Encouraging power users to contribute back could certainly help when communities grow.
