 We currently have a number of bots:

 `bb-trac`
   notifies about [http://trac.buildbot.net trac] events (something @verm
 did)

 `bb-meta`
   notifies about [http://buildbot.builtbot.net Meta Buildbot] events (IRC
 status change)

 `bb-9-meta`
   notifies about Meta Buildbot events as implemented by the latest and
 greatest Buildbot

 `bb-github`
   provided by http://github.com, notifies about interesting events
 happening at http://github.com/buildbot/buildbot

 The *proposal* is to have a super bot -- a Supybot based `bb-bot`:

 * listens to RSS feed for meta buildbot
 * listens to RSS feed for 9-meta buildbot
 * listens to RSS feed for Trac (if a proper feed can be provided with all
 necessary information: new tickets, updated tickets)
 * !MeetBot plugin enabled

 And, at least, have factoids database plugged in.

 @verm mentioned that Supybot is a bit less than perfect, though no details
 were provided.

 This ticket is to collect all relevant information and decide if we could
 go forward with ''the'' `bb-bot`.
