Out of respect for him, I've never really measured out the time it takes for him to reply. :)

This is not a concern about the quality of the contacts'
work, which is
fantastic, but rather the fact that we have only two people
in this role
and their availability is sometimes limited. We currently only have two contacts, but sometimes their other Wikimedia and real-life
commitments
create delays.
Afaik, the problem doesn't come from the Foundation but from Freenode, who is very reticent about opening this position to other people.
Sean is doing a great work and he is very efficient ; "some days" is an acceptable delay, it used to be several weeks some months ago.

I think it would be good to have more contacts if Freenode is willing to allow it, even though I think the current volunteers are doing well given the time demands... The turnaround from Sean is awesome compared to what it used to be before Sean started helping out. Not that my assent is required but I want to say I would be comfortable with any of the folks I saw volunteer (Cbrown1023, Majorly, Drini) and apologise if I missed some ...
Can Freenode be asked if they would allow more contacts given our sizeable IRC userbase?
