An IRC bot is nice, but CIA also provided current (!) statistics, which
isn't merely useful in order to boost your own morale/ego/self-esteem,
but also provided up to date information about other developers'
activity, which can help other developers decide if and when to step in
and start (temporarily) maintaining packages that need immediate
attention. ohloh cannot do that for us, presently, and a simple IRC
bot cannot either.
