Well then perhaps the point you might have clarified is that a noisy IRC channel is the problem all along -- perhaps it'd be better to split it into 2, perhaps for 'core' dev and one for 'user' or something. I hope you didn't take offence to my comment, if you read it with my 'idling' point of view, you can see why I was shaking my head when reading -- getting /anything/ done on a noisy channel is completely useless -on any chat system- unless you explicitly give Voice on request... I my experience, quietish IRC channels are fantastic, I'm on about 20 of them, 24/7 (or so it appears to everyone ;-))
