I've written IRC 'bot and client code many times since the 1990s and would be willing to spend time developing the ubottu code-base to include flood protection. I've spent some time hacking supybot
during the past 3 years (more off than on) for my own purposes.

An existing supybot plug-in [1] could be used as the basis for flood protection or a completely new plug-in might be desirable, depending on the state of existing code.

An importance-ordered list of requirements and nice-to-have features would be a good start if this is to be followed up.
