That sounds really good to me.

I believe that most of the newcomers interested in contributing to Django doesn't even know that ​irc://irc.freenode.net/django-dev exists.

There are a few mentions but mentioning it on the contributing index would be fine.

$ grep -rI "#django-dev" *
internals/contributing/new-contributors.txt:   `#django-dev` IRC channel.
intro/contributing.txt:    to |django-developers| or drop by `#django-dev on irc.freenode.net`__ to

I was thinking about something simple, along the lines of:

Join the django-developers mailing list and share your ideas for how to improve Django. We’re always open to suggestions. You can also interact via the #django-dev IRC channel.

To avoid creating another topic just for the #django-dev IRC.
