Your idealism is noble, but it isn't going to work that way. IRC networks aren't going to open up to Tor more than Freenode already does, for the simple reasons that it makes controlling trolls and spammers absolutely impossible.
You should probably run a middle relay until you've learned more about this. (And yes, discovering the knowledge is harder than it should be; I recommend you get on #tor on oftc to talk to people.)
Best, Luke

Completely disabling exit operation (with the reject *:* line) turns you into a middle relay.
OK, thanks. Jacob Applebaum stated in this speech he wants to have thousands of relays and make using anonymous connections a normal state of affairs in the long term. This isn't going to fly this way. I'll talk to the Freenode people about removing their prohibitive restrictions and also hope on your support.
Thanks, Markus
