Closure is semi-dead - no-one active has access to the CVS repository
(if there even is one). The code is also pretty complex and ugly in
parts, so working on it is not easy. It would be nice to clean it up
and restart development, though.

Beirc, on the other hand, is not at all dead - it's actually used by
some people, and the maintainers are still active in the
community. While there haven't been many patches to it for the last
few months, that's more a case of it being "good enough at the
moment", than the maintainers losing interest.
