I'll try to spread the word too, and hang on IRC more frequently (I'm
just not used...)

There's PumpTweet too https://github.com/dper/PumpTweet
I'm not sure about which option is best.
I'll do some tests with both, but I'm afraid I can only say if they
work or not, nothing about the code itself, or performance results
etc.

I have tested a configuration and written down some steps to get the
RSS feeds posted to identi.ca/debian with spigot (see attachment).
Is it a must that spigot (and pypump, one of its dependencies) are
packaged for Debian? python-pip and the rest of the dependencies are,
and you can install pypump and spigot easily with "pip".

I'll have a look.

Probably there's no need of a 'new' machine, just install the Python
scripts and setup the cron task in one of them (the one that host the
planet software, maybe?).

Posting RSS feeds to pump.io network, using the @debian identi.ca account, and Spigot
======================================================================================
1.- Environment
I'm running Debian Wheezy
I had Python installed.
2.- Install spigot
# apt-get install python-pip python-feedparser
# pip install pypump
# pip install spigot
$ mkdir /home/spigot (or at any place we want, spigot will create its database and json file there)
3.- Configure spigot
$ cd /home/spigot
$ spigot.py
authorize an account (debian@identi.ca)
feed: http://planet.debian.org/rss20.xml
when it asks how often to post, we can say 30 minutes (the cron job should run more often, let's say each 20 minutes)
When it asks about the format, it can be:
$t - <a href="$l" target="_blank">$l</a> #planet
(hashtags are not working yet, but for the future, and compatibility for anybody tunneling from pump.io to statusnet/twitter)
And that's all.
4.- We run spigot again to add another feed
$ spigot -f
and we configure the feed.
5.- Setup a cron job to run each X minutes (being X less than the minutes we configured in spigot).
The command can be
cd /home/spigot;spigot.py
6.- Enjoy
