Description
Hi,
I think it would be cool to have IRC Nicknames (registered with NickServ) added to the verification list.
I imagine something like an input for the server (or just freenode to begin with?) and the main NickServ account.
KeyBase would need a simple bot to join the server (or in case of freenode only, idle on the server) and query nickserv.
A user can add metadata to their account in simple key=value format.
This would integrate very well with already existing verification systems used on KeyBase (TXT record verification).
What do you think?

Research direction
No implementation files or tests are named. Start by reviewing the existing verification systems, especially TXT record verification, then determine how IRC server and NickServ account metadata would fit alongside them. Done would mean a decided scope for server selection, NickServ querying, and the user’s key=value metadata.
