Comment (by irl):

 Will be able to add more tomorrow, but quickly. metrics-bot only uses the
 details document type currently. I plan to add more functionality to the
 IRC component that would use other document types but this is not a
 priority at the moment, so if details documents were in metrics-lib then
 that would be great.

 The current details documents look like:

 https://people.torproject.org/~irl/metrics-
 bot/org/torproject/metricsbot/tor/package-summary.html

 It's also possible that we just later move the
 org.torproject.metricsbot.tor package to metrics-lib, although this would
 require separating out the badge and text generating methods e.g.
 generateBadge()

 Currently metrics-bot does not use metrics-base. Maybe it should?

 I can update #24036 with the package names used in metrics-bot if that is
 useful, but I'd like to finish some more JavaDoc to make sure myself that
 I'm happy with the organisation of them first. (I did a bunch of
 refactoring last night implementing the IRC component so I've not had a
 good pass over how it looks now yet).
