As far as I know, there has been a cleanup of the ircops of magnet in the sense of banning repeat offenders/trolls from that irc network in an effort to make (for example) #perl a nice, welcoming community. I've listened to reports telling that they have succeeded.

I think the ircops would potentially need to re-evaluate whether they care about bug reports for a module via irc more than about exercising their right over access to the network.
