Comment (by tom.prince):

 I tried adding a LoopingCall that I start in IrcStatusBot.connectionMade
 and stop in IrcStatusBot.connectionLost, that calls
 self.ping(self.nickname).

 It tested by using iptables to block outgoing packets to the IRC server,
 and after ~4min (and pings) it tried reconnecting (which worked, since it
 connected to a different server on the same network).
