This is security relevant, as not everyone uses nick protection.

Using the ident is hardly more secure than using the nick, as I'm the only one in our channel who is actually using identd (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ident_protocol#Uses for details). The best solution would be to implement NickServ support, but since Python-IRC-Bot-Framework doesn't support services, using ident and requiring bot-ops to run an identd would be a possible alternative.
