Well we could ditch IRC and bridging entirely and go for Matrix (and ML 
+ github) entirely. I'm using Matrix for personal communication lately 
and I'm amazed. I have setup a home server and also experimented a bit 
with scripting bots.

In my past experience, key developers aren't even participating in IRC 
anymore so it's next to useless for me. I wouldn't give up on an 
"social" option yet where you can also discuss non-technical topics from 
time to time but I'm not attached to IRC really.

Best regards.
