I was told in the past by one of founding LEDE team members (who shall
rename nameless unless he chooses to comment himself), that if I really
wanted to participate in OpenWrt community that I needed to be on IRC
(in a private mail to me).

This isn't something I made up, this is an opinion expressed by a
someone who's opinion you seem to value.
