The standard Apache method of communication is email, as this is the way that everyone, including people in various time zones, can participate in the discussion.
It is particularly discouraged to make decisions on such fora as IRC, as this disallows everyone a voice. Further, email messages sent to the alias will often get a quick response regardless of where in time the sender or responder happens to be.
