I noted you said: There are some issues with the IRC front-end (irc3). <ref>http://tools.wmflabs.org/wikibugs/</ref>
In case you didn't want to bother yourself with implementing the IRC protocol, you can use the wm-bot's irc-relay plugin https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wm-bot#Relay_of_messages_from_scripts_and_ot... this thing allows any script / program running anywhere on wikimedia-labs to deliver irc messages to any channel using wm-bot by sending very simple TCP / UDP packets directly to wm-bot. I don't expect you would like to use it, but it would potentially save you some work, given that making reliable bot that is able to autorejoin / reconnect on netsplits that happen often, isn't that easy.

it would be also cool if source code was somewhere readable by public

There is a new bot for wikibugs but it doesn't seem to reply very well to basic CTCP messages and provides no link to its documentation. Where can it be found? How is the bot controlled? How do I make it join some channel and subscribe to a feed?
