Connecting to Freenode through TLS would be great

When Linux resumes from a sleep, the watchdog script doesn't recover the connection and the bot isn't in the channel anymore...

Make the bot write something in the chat to give feedback about a command issued by a user. Examples:

• not authorized
• unknown command
• command format: ....
• ...

Implement the whitelist feature, which restricts the nicknames that can trigger notifications.

Use the one from the botName and just escape the illegal characters

The log-on on freenode doesn't work with special characters in the bot name.
There should be some kind of error message to debug this.

It would be great to have a feature that allows to send an important message to dedicated users through a desktop notification.
This could especially be helpful when you want to tell your friends why they should come online immediately.

The "important" command passes user-input arguments through the shell, allowing for arbitrary code execution.

Consider replacing use of os.system() with the subprocess module and not passing arguments through the shell.

Add a hotkey to mute the service for X seconds.

Fetch the list of users in the channel so that you can be notified when they leave the room. Currently, this only happens if the bot joins the channel before other users.

Refactor the code to make good usage of classes/modules. Improve maintainability and scalability.
