Yes I also find IRC notifications more useful than the emails, maybe
we can prioritize the IRC notifications then ? Although I am sure we
will have advocate for emails only :-)
Would be nice if there were an API that would let us listen to it
without needing to write an IRC bot or loop polling an HTTP endpoint.
It sounds like this is similar to what Jeremy was proposing, but I'm not
sufficiently versed in Messaging language to know.
