Thanks for bringing this to my attention.  I’d changed my email back in
December 2018 and had notified the copyright clerk about it, but it
seems that their change hadn’t properly propagated to copyright.list.
It should be there now.

Good catch!  I rebased on latest master and reformatted per your
suggestion.  I’ve attached an updated patch below.

Thanks for your feedback.

Subject: [PATCH] Fix erc-lurker-update-status (bug#36843)

Broken since 2013-08-22 "* lisp/erc/erc.el: Use lexical-binding".

* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-message-parsed): New variable.
(erc-display-message): Dynamically bind it.
(erc-lurker-update-status): Check it instead of using `parsed'
directly.  This results in `erc-lurker-state' being properly updated
to keep track of non-lurkers, and thus `erc-lurker-p' returning
correct results rather than return t for everyone.
