Since the demise of the official Libera Chat Matrix bridge (https://libera.chat/news/official-matrix-bridge-farewell), our IRC and Matrix rooms have been disconnected. Could we have bridgebot perform a basic relay to Matrix? matterbridge supports it and is listed at https://libera.chat/guides/matrix#what-bridge-software-is-available-for-irc
I'm happy to volunteer #wikimedia-rust <--> #wikimedia-rust:matrix.org as a test case. Thanks :)

Per https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/wiki/Section-Matrix-%28basic%29#example-with-pantalaimon it looks like we will also need to add https://github.com/matrix-org/pantalaimon to the Bridgebot stack to implement this.
Bridgebot has an existing Matrix account from the T337136: Test Matrix to Telegram bridge experiment.
Hmmm, I think pantalaimon is only needed for E2EE Matrix rooms, and #wikimedia-rust is a public, non-encrypted channel, so it should be fine without? I think the docs on that page are trying to say "Matterbridge doesn't properly encrypt its messages [in E2EE rooms]".

Thank you!
12:12:50 <wm-bb> [matrix] <legoktm> ooh, I think the Matrix bridging is working now 12:12:58 <legoktm> o/
One interesting note is that once the bridging started, it relayed a message I had sent on Matrix like two weeks ago (the only previously sent message in the room). I will document this somewhere, as it might be an issue if someone tries to bridge a room with lots of history onto IRC.
