Ahh, nice. I have an idea here, so I will just go and
comment:

Do you use Emacs in X/with mouse? Then the following
would be even more useful:
1. Have a function like yours which takes an argument (the number of the entry).
2. Have a local-map in the global-mode-string where
the ctracked channels are shown which makes
every channel clickable. On click, the window where
the mode-line belongs to switches buffer to that buffer.

What do you think?

Someone should really rewrite channel tracking
so that a list is used instead of string. Would
make that function simpler, and most probably remove
the leading-comma bug.

hmm, the last line needs to look like this for erc >1.107:
 	(switch-to-buffer (erc-get-buffer channel)))))

ahh, and it is flawed anyway, because channel tracking
doesn't handle multiple servers yet.
