saying ~vouch <nick> adds a directional link to a web of trust between your host and that of the nick in question (whatever it was at the point in time when you 'vouched' for them, so others can't spoof).
Later, this web can be used to moderate a channel such that the bot will only give voice to nicks corresponding to hosts which have been vouched for by more than $N other hosts in the channel, or however many people are in the channel (less one, for yourself), whichever is less.
~trust 5 would ∴ require at least 5 people in the channel to have vouched for you, if there were at least 5 other people in the channel.
