The IRC chat is public, as you demonstrated by linking to the log. If you prefer not to use it, or happen to miss a particular discussion, you can always post to the mailing list/Bugzilla/etc. if you have something to say. On the other hand, those who prefer to get real-time feedback on suggestions can use IRC. Having a variety of media available for contributors to use makes HTML 5's development more open, not less.
