+1, Great idea, lowers the barrier of entry a lot IMO and doing this with KDE seems like an ideal solution for everyone involved.

[Development] Mirror IRC channels on KDE's Matrix Instance
Hello everyone, Context --- After the "Improve the contributor experience" session at the past Qt Contributors Summit, many ideas came out related to an overall improvement to the contribution experience, mainly focused on new people joining the Qt Project. One of the topics was Communication, from which we (qt project people) discussed together with some KDE folks and agreed that bringing the Qt and KDE communities closer was a good idea, mainly based on the good experience KDE has currently on the platform. We have a good opportunity to do this via a bridge from our newly created Libera.chat IRC channels, to KDE's Matrix Instance. During the QtCS, we tried this out, and mirrored the #qt-cs IRC channel to Matrix: https://go.kde.org/matrix/#/#qt-cs:kde.org and according to the people that participated in the session the experience was nice, and it might be worth to bridge all the other #qt-* channels on IRC.
