Consider having an IRC bot to manage the deployment "conch" for out-of-band (and scheduled?) deploys
Open, LowPublic

Description

From IRC:

11:10:13 <James_F> OK, deployed.
11:10:20 <James_F> Conch up for grabs again.
11:14:29 <mutante> James_F: thanks for announcing this here
11:14:56 <James_F> Always.
11:15:25 <James_F> Ideally we'd have a "real" bot-managed conch for prod deploys rather than rely on human eyeballs.
11:16:52 <mutante> yes, a jouncebot command could do it, true
11:17:43 <James_F> It's a perennially popular HackerNews topic, maybe we could steal one rather than build it (yet) again.
11:17:48 <mutante> might be worth a ticket to add the feature
11:17:55 — James_F nods.
11:18:30 <mutante> well, the current ones are already using a framework to make bots afaict
11:18:47 <mutante> but i also have this idea to puppetize eggdrop, the oldest IRC bot around, rock stable :PP
