IRC IMHO has even one more benefit that would help in this especially in
this case: You can paste URLs to mails in the archive or on the web.
Further: multiple people can write in parallel (that's a advantage and a
disadvantage at the same time). A disadvantage of telephone conferences:
they often consume all of your attention -- in an IRC-Meeing you can go
afk for one minute if there is a need to and read what happened in between

Agreed.

Just to make sure: One vote per "technical point"?
