FWIW I can vouch for the quality of Errbot, I've used it on several
occasions and we're currently using it in the RDO community.

A very useful feature that I like is the webserver hook integration.
This allows the bot to essentially expose an endpoint and you can send
things to it.
For example, we have a sensu_event [1] endpoint and we have a sensu
handler that sends events to it, the bot then sends an alert to our
IRC channels.
