Just dumping from the surrounding IRC discussion:

[17:03] <Sho_> ossi: It's a pretty complex request though, it requires a
persistent way to attach data (like an alias) to a virtual user object, an
extensible facility to match people encountered on IRC against those virtual
users (e.g. "hostmask matches this regex" or "nickserv tells us this about
user") to be able to retrieve the data, server/network sniffing because
nickserv is anything but standardized and its API differs considerably from
network to network, implementatons 
[17:03] <Sho_> for different networks, good network transmission queue
scheduling to deal with the huge amount of traffic caused by asking nickserv
for that much stuff, lots of state tracking for the communication with nickserv
and a way to deal with the latency issue of the data not being available
immediately (e.g. buffering or retrofitting logs)
[17:04] <Sho_> ossi: konversation has all of the above to some degree, but not
quite to the level that it would make your request trivial, and even the best
possible implementation will most likely be brittle given the realities of IRC
