We mention #django IRC channels in the Django docs and in various places
on the Django website (such as in the footer, coc page, coc faq page).
We also have a step in our Django release process to update a topic in
#django IRC.
As #django IRC is very quiet, we should reduce it's importance in terms of
how many times we point users to it.
Having reviewed the docs, this would be almost completely removed from the
docs (although I think to keep the reference in the security guide not to
post to IRC).
On the Django website, we can keep IRC in the “More help” sidebar of the
community page, similar to StackOverflow and Reddit, and remove the rest.
