The irker proxy was mentioned in this thread. I think we should look

I think it might be more beneficial to try and relay -commits email to
irc.
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.

jer thanks for saying that. That's exactly how I was using CIA. Now
I'm just using the gentoo-commits@ list which gives the same info but
requires more sorting effort on my brain.
