I think there are plenty of Statisticians working in ML who obviously know JASA and JCGS, and you do see pretty well-known folks from the Mike Jordan tree who often publish in JASA. But the broader community, probably not so much. There are tons of fields that publish in the ML venues, and just like I might not understand how good a journal Operations Research or IEEE Information Theory are, they won’t know JASA.
