Also, we have been working hard to *decrease* the number of distinct
websites in the PostgreSQL domain. So please let's try to avoid adding
another one if we can.

Now, *assuming* this is a service that we want on the main site (I'm not
taking position on that yet, but it does seem pretty nifty), wouldn't
the logical place be to have it on http://search.postgresql.org, along
with the standard search?

Maybe even to the point of delivering docbot search results at the top
of the results, over the general search ones, based on the fact that
it's common keyword searching.

Where does it actually *live* today? Meaning where is the database
located, where does the IRC bot run, etc?

Given that it's not open-access-write, I don't see how this would be any
more different than other content we have - we have even less control
over what goes into http://archives.postgresql.org for example, and we
can always do post-case cleanups.
