Comment (by dustin):

 We had some conversation on-channel about this.

 The instant feedback from trac, github, and so on is really helpful -- I
 wouldn't want to wait for a "reasonable" polling interval to find out, for
 example, that all of the builds I just pushed had failed, or that a pull
 request had been updated.  So you'd need something in the bot to be
 receiving pushed notifications from github, trac, and buildbot.

 That seems like a lot of hacking just for the benefit of having a single
 bot in channel.
