I'd be interested in a mailing list. I haven't had any specific drive to do an ebuild for anything not in the tree (sometimes versions not in the tree, live versions, etc, but not packages), but if I did, I'd certainly be put-off by IRC. I've found I do far better with an async communication medium such as mailing-lists/newsgroups, and IRC/IM tends to be rather uncomfortable for me. That in fact is a big reason I never moved on becoming a Gentoo/amd64 AT, as well, since when I asked, they were doing most communication thru IRC, and that just doesn't work well for me. But I'm OK with lists and newsgroups, which is why you see me here and never on IRC. I'm sure I'm not alone. FWIW and from my observation, generally, younger folks tend to take to IM/IRC like my generation, at least the geeks in it, tend to take to newsgroups/lists.
