Ricardo has agreed to be our "IRC point person" and deal with the channel ownership and other similar requests. For him to be able to do that we need to:
- Give him the access required
- Update this page https://drupal.org/node/1031858
- Write up instructions on how to deal with requests, what kind of commands to use etc.

Thanks to @nnewton i have now full access.

@chx pointed out the main tasks to be preformed on #2136303: Delegate IRC:

A) Become a group contact towards freenode, so you can ask them to a) turn over any #drupal- channels, this is necessary because sometimes forgot to register channels and just use them b) handle IRC cloaks.
B) If the owner or staff turned over ownership to you, transfer (in the first case, ack transfer) to the drupalircowner user as the channel owner -- we do not want any single invidual to actually own the channel.
C) As necessary assign owners to channels. It's fine tuned via flags so some people might just take care of the topic while others are real owners.

@rfay also pointed out yesterday on #drupal-infrastructure:

(11:29:06 PM) rfay: ricardoamaro, so being in touch with freenode as a community representative. Setting up managers of channels. Dealing with problem people or enabling managers to kick them out.

Regarding [#5403] we still need more info on the steps.
I'm also reaching out to @morbus for any extra info.

Great. While we are figuring all this out, would be great to create a new page under https://drupal.org/contribute/drupalorg/infrastructure and document it. What are the tasks, and how to do them. For future, when we might need to onboard more/new IRC admins.

Interesting numbers:

There are currently 135+ channels on IRC with the string "drupal-" and at least 2 users inside on a Saturday...
