      Perhaps a neat feature to add along with inter-server chat could be an

Not quite.  Those are static pages from scripts, that prases the
player, and unique-map data.
There is one script in the server distribution, that generates a page,
showing player's scores.

To implement this, you would need to store recent chats somewhere. 
Most likely this would be in a file.

Ultimately, implementing this seems kind of hackish, but may be
posible to use scripts for the python plugin, that can be installed on
a per-server basis.
