I seldom check out IRC (as my experience was the same). I'm OK with retiring it if no committers are around.
On a related note, I know Tsuyoshi set up a slack channel for the committers. Even that one is pretty idle. :) Should we use it more often? If that starts to gain traction, we could set up a more open room for users as well.
