The best way to reach specific Gentoo developers is through Bugzilla. This gives the best chance for focused discussion on the specific issue without unnecessary distraction for other developers who are not interested in the specific topic. And yes, gentoo-expert would be a secondary way of reaching developers in specific technical topics. However, depending on the atmosphere around the new channel some developers may decide not to use it (much like they choose to ignore -dev currently). -- Best regards, Michał Górny
