The only usage of that function is (indirectly) from here:

(defun erc-open (&optional server port nick full-name
                           connect passwd tgt-list channel process)

[...]

        (buffer (erc-get-buffer-create server port channel))

So I assumed that target could indeed be nil -- especially since that
function has always checked whether target is nil or not, only that the
previous check was reverse of what it should have been.

The bug tracker has a search field, if that's what you're asking?
