No doubt we should have better remote participation options, but until
we do, I'm not sure what you expect? It would be rather silly to fly
all of us into a hotel (some of us have traveled a remarkably high
percentage of the Earth's circumference to get there) only to have us
communicate over IRC instead of talking to each other. Summits are, by
design, quiet time on IRC.

I don't think anyone is arguing it's as high volume as #linux. It's
just that 95% of it is noise for some people. Having to actually read
that much noise to find the signal absolutely sucks.

Are you familiar with the Follow-Up-To header? I have no clue if GMail
honours it,
but some other mail clients certainly do.
