I agree. We can discuss and decide later where that page should live and what goes/remains in it (the irc-rules page will very likely be subject to significant change, so let's not focus on that for now). Jason's suggestion here is merely about us telling package maintainers to email [email protected] with information about the IRC channel(s) of their packages, so we could document them in our records and display a potentially auto-generated list of them somewhere on gnu.org (much like how we publish lists of all current and decommissioned packages).
