I prefer the bug subscription/followup method, because it is
independent of time zones and leaves a more permanent decision making
trail.

However, IRC pings directly to an ubuntu-release member (slangasek,
Riddell, Hobbsee, pitti) are ok as long as the addressed person
actually answers and thus confirms the issue. A simple

  <joe> hey, amd64 install is stuck because of foo

is not sufficient, since it does not highlight.

Steve, what do you think?

Thanks,

Martin
