We specifically talk about irc in the etiquette policy: |

It's a good idea to have everything bugged just for the sake of getting things |
| 23 |
accomplished. IRC is nice, and a lot of collaboration goes on there, but a |
| 24 |
lot of things fall through the cracks. If there seems to be a lot of push to |
| 25 |
interface through bugzilla, the reasons are to be able to track stuff and get |
| 26 |
it done. I hate bugzilla as much as the next guy, but I think it helps to |
| 27 |
prevent a lot of frustration from requests getting lost. |
