One thing I would recommend is to make people that can answer
questions more obvious.
I've been making myself channel operator sort of on purpose due to
that and I've had users reach out to me directly for help because of
that.
Perhaps voice the maintainers/helpers in the channel so people know who to ask ?
Some upstream channels use that to identify cores on the projects.

 At OpenStack Summit, it was suggested to me that we have IRC office
 hours, so that there are certain times during the week when people can
 be assured of having their questions answered.
 While my experience has been that questions asked on #rdo, for the most
 part, are answered quickly and authoritatively, the comment was made
 that publishing "official office hours" would make our channel more
 welcoming to beginners who are looking for a little help in their
 OpenStack journey.
 What I'm wondering is:
 * Would you be able to commit to pay more attention during a specified
 time period?
 * What time(s) would work best for you?
 I'm thinking probably two times a week - once for the North American
 time zone audience, and once for the Europe/Asia timezone audience.
 IRC "support" is always best-effort, as time permits, and nobody is
 expecting any kind of guarantee here - I'm just looking for a way to
 make our user community feel more welcomed.
 Thanks.
