Why don't we have a committers IRC channel?
The members one is useful, and I don't see that 3000 is some
unfeasible number. There are more than 3000 Tomcat users but the
Tomcat channel isn't insane.

The ASF spans the globe in terms of contributors, as such we do not, as a
rule, adopt synchronous communication tools - they exclude people who are
in other time zones. In the ASF we have a saying: "if it didn't happen on a
mailing list, it didn't happen". Furthermore, we have over 100 top level
and over 50 incubating projects. There are over 3000 committers and who
knows how many contributors. An ASF wide IRC channel would be kind of noisy
(some projects do use IRC for informal chatter).
You can find our blog roll at planet.Apache.org and many of our projects
have blogs at blog.apache.org
Our ASF-wide GSoC focused mailing list is this one, so you are in the right
place, welcome. For discussion about a specific project you would use the
projects own mailing list.
