Hi, although you are right that chats tend to provide answers faster they have a significant disadvantage: they are not archived by default - and even if you set up an archive you don't have threads that you can look up.
The sling community is pretty active in answering within a short period of time for any question comming in via dev or user list so I do not really see a strong need for a chat where questions would be asked over and over again as they where not found. The public Apache mailinglists are all archived (e.g. via markmail) and should help you in a lot of cases even without the need to wait for anybody to look into the issue being hit. Other ways to support the community are looking out for questions at stackoverflow, and helping to answer questions esp. here in the users list. This is just my own oppinion on chat for technical support, maybe others think different.
