@caasi sorry, just seeing this...! the one caveat to be aware of, is that our translation feature hasn't been merged, and so we're on our own special fork. Does that feel like an acceptable risk/situation to you? (We could decide to take action on it -- either going back to mainline without translation, rebasing, or negotiating them upstream merge of the translation).
Of course, we can just add the IRC bridge to it without much work as well 🙂
