Just curious if miau is better in one way or the other than existing,
actively developed IRC proxies? (such as znc)

Apart from maybe its size.

>From the feature list above, znc supports all that and possibly a lot
more, and has an active upstream. Miau had a release in 2007, and
another in 2010 - and even that has been a year ago (no commits in its
SVN since then, either).
