Generally, yes. Some folks will even go so far as to set up IRC bouncers to 
capture messages while their host machine is asleep and no longer connected 
(but this is by no means required). The key thing is: most build bots send out 
an email if a commit breaks the build, but not all bots do (some only send to 
IRC) and that email goes to whoever is on the commit list. So if you make 
commits or have someone commit something on your behalf, being in the IRC 
channel can help you quickly fix issues. However, if you're not on the IRC 
channel, someone else will help make sure you get notified if something goes 
wrong, so being in IRC isn't required.
