While I agree on not needing either IRC or mail interface built into KDevelop, 
I can imagine tapping into instant messaging/email capabilities could create 
interesting features.

For example assume that you access to KDE's committer list (I think there is 
an Akonadi resource for that) and also access to Telepathy. The git/svn blame 
view/annotation could display the respective committers IM availability.

Or sending the current diff as a patch email to the author or mailinglist the 
code is associated with.

Cheers,
Kevin
