This is a bit trickier, but still worth attempting. Suggested output:
[IRC]
#crowbar on Freenode: 27 lines
#cloud on irc.suse.de: 43 lines
You could also include some or all of the lines in a format which would allow easy trimming, in order to condense them into a quick list of topics discussed.
This would need different backends for the different formats of IRC logs output by different IRC clients :-( Or maybe it would be better to write a single IRC log translation utility which can convert IRC logs from different formats into a single standard format, and then consume that, since that utility could be useful for other purposes and so would be worth leaving as a separate upstream mini-project.
