If I remember correctly, while it did fall into disuse there was an
actual decision made not to continue with that line of community
communication. Especially now as the tracker is being proposed as the
place to have specific discussions that maybe are not of general
interest to the community, it would seem to me to be a bad idea to add
one more independent archive that would need to be searched by users
in order to ensure they cover all possible previous discussion
threads.

Perhaps if there was some way to integrate freenode searches into the
tracker search engine then this would make more sense? Better yet,
provide a single search and respond interface for the tracker, mailing
lists, and any other discussion forum and then people can easily
choose the most appropriate medium for them to interact on (with?).
