I'd be interested in a mailing list.  I haven't had any specific drive to 
do an ebuild for anything not in the tree (sometimes versions not in the 
tree, live versions, etc, but not packages), but if I did, I'd certainly 
be put-off by IRC.  I've found I do far better with an async 
communication medium such as mailing-lists/newsgroups, and IRC/IM tends 
to be rather uncomfortable for me.  That in fact is a big reason I never 
moved on becoming a Gentoo/amd64 AT, as well, since when I asked, they 
were doing most communication thru IRC, and that just doesn't work well 
for me.  But I'm OK with lists and newsgroups, which is why you see me 
here and never on IRC.

I'm sure I'm not alone.  FWIW and from my observation, generally, younger 
folks tend to take to IM/IRC like my generation, at least the geeks in 
it, tend to take to newsgroups/lists.  I'll be 42 in January.
