The problem with a mailing list discussion is that every point to be discussed will take forever. In an online real-time meeting, people can discuss and come to conclusions quickly. There is opportunity to comment afterwards if you cannot come to the meeting by reviewing the minutes/logs of the meeting.
You're right, but I never can participate in an opensuse-XXXX IRC meeting, because here, in Spain, we have a draconian hours (you don't know the luck you have for this).
So, will it never work - or what time would work for you? Often you have on the one hand to have focused and quick discussions with many people on IRC - and on the other hand use email to inform everybody and flesh out details.
BTW is also quite true that a real time chat on IRC is best, but in this case, we have the problems of time changes that would prevent others from participating, for example, Japan (as mentioned before).
