As you might already know, this philosophy of openly asking questions in a public channel is one of the important aspects of open source development model. FWIW, many moons ago I wrote an etiquette doc[1] on being a decent community citizen when asking questions on upstream IRC channels (yes, they're still a thing :P) and what to avoid, etc. Many of these guidelines apply in an internal setting too.
