You don't need to use IRC. Discussions on IRC aren't publicly logged. So you
can't follow discussions happening there while you're not connected
(unless you have a spy reading for you ;-)).
If you read the general resolution, you'll see that the main
communication channel will always be the mailing lists. The IRC is
basically only an alternate non mandatory communication channel.
#debian-devel is commonly used to comment the content of the mailing
list, and if anything interesting is discovered on IRC, it will be
summarized or explained on the corresponding mailing list. Of course,
some subjects may only be discussed on IRC, but that should be considered
like 2 or 3 developers discussing a Debian problem via private mail.
If it concerns other developers, or if that information needs to be
shared, they'll do so on a mailing list.

I don't think so, since it's not really related.
