Why don't you do this:

1. Modify ircservices so that every akill had an ID number which is
   unique to that akill.

2. Prepend the ID to the supplied akill reason so that it is visible
   to the offender (when they get disconnected) and to your staff.
   
3. Have something watching the services log for akill
   add/delete/expires and make a web page/database/whatever from
   that?

Side benefits of (1) would include being able to manipulate the akill
list by number as opposed to having to enter the full hostmasks.

(2) may be a generally useful otpion for all nets since it'd be nice
for someone to be able to say "it is akill #31337 that is stopping
me connecting" saving time for both parties.

And (3) requires no modifications to ircservices and can be handled
however is best for your network.

Does that fit the bill?
