This is certainly a possibility since there are a handful of people that are in the channel 24x7 and I haven't been able to communicate in real time with them. If they don't leave then the channel is effectively hijacked (without any possibility of registering because the original person that first entered the channel for which would have been an operator is no longer there). Anyway, I'm not sure if it's a priority since we do have ##node-webkit, while not ideal it's a start.
