Summary 0003140: RPC communication
Description One may thinks daily admin (ie *lines, Spamfilter, ip tracking) could be easy once you are well trained with all ircd commands.
But the bigger the network is, the harder the admin is getting.
Thus, medium and big sized networks are dealing with thousands of bans and spamfilters, so it can quickly become a nightmare.
Couldn't attach my spamfilters list for you to check, as it weight 23Kb.

Well, I think the idea of RPC apis (XML or whatever) is great, and can help anybody who would like to build its own administration interfaces (shell, web, etc).
Direct interaction with the ircd could have so many applications, like ip/vhosts reports, bans or spamfilter add/remove, and at least human readable timestamps.

It could also introduce new development perspectives, like it has been with Anope PHP scripts.

Regards.

this seems like it would be better suited as a module

I'm thinking this is a better idea than to build a webserver in the IRCd (as was the plan like.. 5 years ago).
