I think the issue is that IRC is only mentioned in passing as a contact
method
and the suggestion is that there should be instructions on what the heck
an #ubuntu
is and what an irc.freenode.net is:

"If you have a question, or if you think you may have found a bug but
aren't sure, try asking on the #ubuntu IRC channel, on the Ubuntu Users
mailing list, or on the Ubuntu forums:

  #ubuntu on irc.freenode.net
  http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users
  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/"
