Not correctly keeping track of users in the room

[Floppy]

Hubot should know who is currently in a room, I think. hubot-irc (despite my earlier fix to detect people leaving) still doesn't seem to manage this properly. It doesn't notice when people change name, and also doesn't reliably notice when people leave still. I intend to have a look at this at some point in our own fork at http://github.com/theodi/hubot-irc, but I thought this was the best place to file it.

I too would like this functionality. I'd be willing to collaborate with someone on implementing it, as well.

Thanks for the feedback. I think this is definitely a high priority item.
I'll try to get to it this week if I can.

I think we need an upstream API from Hubot to be able to know what users are in what room. We currently have user.room which is the last room a user was seen in/active in. This could perhaps be expanded to user.rooms which is a complete list of the rooms a user is in.
