Sérgio,
Thanks for having taking time to respond.
Viviane, I am sorry to tell you but most of the informations you are
looking for are easily accessible from our website. As you did not took
time to search by yourself, I did not want to take time to answer you.
As Sérgio raised some interesting points I answer bellow.

Here it is:

No we usually don't, everybody can provide code and ideas on their own
schedule.

Yes, I don't use the IRC currently but it has been very active in the
past.

We have a bugzilla at gnome.org. Bug are filled there.
