Isn't this an artifact of these questions being asked/answered on IM
and IRC?  I realize the 'eat your own dogfood' logic in an IM client
using IM and IRC for discussion, but if questions were redirected to
the mailing list, everybody would see them once[1], and have an
opportunity to answer them once.  Also, you could read/answer them at
your convenience.

I don't know what has been asked in your IM, and even if I logged on
to #gaim, I don't know what has been asked yesterday...

Just a suggestion.
