I'm the one who implemented IRC notifications on debian-java a few years 
ago, based on the work done for other Debian channels at this time. I 
personally find it interesting to have push notifications on the 
channel, because it can trigger discussions/reviews about the changes 
being done and bring more life to a mostly dormant channel.

Some time later we started getting CI/pipeline notifications through the 
same mechanism, and it became way to verbose in my opinion.

I think we should keep the notifications, but only for pushes (ideally 
one line per branch pushed, not one line per commit). We could also 
filter the notifications related to the pristine-tar branch. And 
CI/pipeline notifications should be blocked (or moved to another channel 
nobody will follow).

I'm not on IRC these days, so this is merely a recommendation, feel free 
to adjust the configuration as you like.
