Aha! IRC ('chat') is like a social hour or cocktail party, with multiple
simultaneous conversations. Some people must like such events and even
find relaxing. I tend to find them uncomfortable and a bit of a chore to
mentally process, at least until I can get deep enough into a
conversation with 1 or 2 people to tune everyone else out. So, while a
bit of business *might* get conducted, that is not the primary purpose.
So I can see that pushing to make it a business meeting would not be too
welcome. What I would like is an online sprint with a temporary
#python-triage channel, with at least one commit-developer present.
Pending that, is there any time of day when more people with commit
privileges are likely to be present.
The other problem I have is being dropped or timed out, and not
having/knowing a way to get auto-reconnected to the channel. Thus, I
could miss a response even if I do get one.
