I like idea of making the dev list as an explicitly advertised place where sysadmins should go for advice. Alternatively I still like the idea of making it explicitly clear that the general list is where sysadmins questions can be sent (if the sender prefers to use email).
I am completely opposed to expecting that sysadmin question be ONLY sent in by IRC. I occasionally use IRC for myriad types of questions including sysadmin questions, but I would hate to see it as the only preferred avenue for sysadmin questions.
