I don't think there will ever be enough people hacking on Debtags to
reach the critical mass. That's why I'd stick with #debian-devel.

It's not like we'll ever be 10 people working 8h a day on debtags.
More like 4 people working on average 1h a day, except Alex.

FYI: the #selinux channel is pretty much dead most of the time.
And you bet that there are way more people than will ever be on Debtags.

Why bother? If we need a channel for a meeting, we'll find a name. And
for regular hanging around and occassional discussion I'd just use
#debian-devel.
My channels list already fills my screen - I'm really reluctant to add
any new channel... and that is a common issue. I even know of people
who have reached the max. number of channels you can be on in IRC (I'm
on three networks regularly, so I'm far from that limit)

best regards,
