Hi,
Nowadays, joining to IRC is a hurdle for new contributors.
There are some alternative, modern web applications:
* Slack -- Most used for tech communities.
One con other than the 10k limit is the weird fact that you essentially
need a different account for each room you join.
* Discord -- Similar to slack. It is focusing game, but support OSS too. [1]
Discord is genuinely awesome. You can do pretty much everything for free,
and it handles huge servers quite well.
* Gitter -- Most integrated with Github. typing, mypy, pip use it already.
AFAIK there are two main negatives to Gitter:
- Only one "channel" per GitHub repo. Compare that to Slack or Gitter,
where you can have multiple channels on one server.
- Sorry, but the mobile app is largely garbage. It doesn't even handle
links correctly, and it's particularly bad compared to the amazing Discord app.

I know adding communication channel is not good always.

But I think IRC is really high hurdle for young people.
How about trying one of them? (maybe, gitter?)
