IRC and Matrix

Hi all!

I don't know if there's official documentation or something on this, but at 
least, I didn't overhear anything specific ... so:

Since ever (at least since I'm a KDE dev), we used IRC to communicate. First 
Freenode, and since those guys went nuts Libera Chat. Then, Matrix came, and 
there were bridges or such so that somebody using only Matrix would see the 
IRC stuff and vice versa.

Now, since quite some time, I'm quite lonely in "my" IRC channels. No 
bridging, (almost) no users. But commit messages and Bugs still hit IRC.

So: What's the state of IRC in KDE (dev) communication? Is IRC meanwhile 
officially deprecated? Can I stop messing with Quassel Core and whatnot so 
that I don't miss a message?

Thanks for all info :-)

Cheers, Tobias
