It has been pointed out to me that it is now possible to give Freenode (which is where irc.debian.org points) one or more contact persons for a project. See http://www.freenode.net/group_contact.shtml Furthermore, participants of some projects can get a "cloak" (see http://www.freenode.net/faq.shtml#projectcloak). That is, you would appear as .developer.debian.
While I believe people shouldn't use such cloaks all the time, they might be interesting when representing the project or giving helpful support. I'd like to hear if people are interested in this; also, I'd like to know who'd be interested in acting as a group contact for Debian. Please send general comments about this to the list, and contact me privately if you're interested in becoming a group contact. -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED]
