To be honest, I also wondered why IRC channels were not logged when I
started contributing to Debian. Later, I understood that people used
IRC to communicate like they would do in real life. As such, we will
not try to record every conversation held between two contributors.

I understand it is not easy to follow IRC channels. Many things are
said out there. Many of what is said there can be found on mailing
lists as well. You may install a permanent IRC client that would
record some targeted IRC channels' activity, as pointed out by martin.

I also agree what others have said in this thread.
