Doesn't look like you're getting the point. Some part of development also 
involves users, you know? Getting together requirements lists, listening to 
their needs and stuff. Hanging around on IRC some 3 to 4 hours a day 
(assuming spare time here) isn't going to help you much with any of that.

Why should I? I'm fine with installing Gentoo the way I did like more than 2 
years ago. But that's not the focus here, as you don't seem to recognize. 
The focus here is to integrate more with users, and also with other 
developers/volunteers/contributors. And as I've already said, those aren't 
always hanging around on IRC just when _you_ do.
