Sort of. What fedora does is have two channels:

* a public, unmoderated channel, where anyone can ask a question/make a comment.
* a public, moderated channel, where only the board can speak.

A moderator (board member?) relays the best questions from the first
channel into the second channel, so that the second channel is still
legible/sensible, but there is a way for the community to ask
questions of the board.

We might consider using http://moderator.appspot.com/ or something
similar to do the question asking, instead of a second IRC channel.
