Having one does not obligate anyone to sit on it and "man it" 24/7. I think one of the things to understand is that Ignite is supposed to move from a "company run" project to a community run one. That means that there will be (hopefully) various people sitting on the IRC channel at all sorts of hours. I am not a Java developer but I have enough development experience under my belt to one day maybe sit down and pick a JIRA ticket to work on. It is much easier asking a series of quick questions, sharing some example code and getting details on various possible approaches (and their up/down sides) on an IRC channel with a live dev or two than writing up emails. Just my $.02
