New description:

 There have been some changes at Freenode and most ex-freenode-staff have
 moved to Libera. We should follow suit and move our official IRC channel
 to `#tahoe-lafs` on Libera.

 People have been pro-active about granting ops etc into channels that
 exist on both. Other considerations:

 - de-commission the Freenode presence? How?
   - keep freenode channel "alive"
   - change topic
   - nobody can post; must go to libera
 - update docs to point at Libera + `#tahoe-lafs` instead of Freenode.
 - Slack bridge should point to Libera (possibly "also point to Libera" if
 that's easy)

 We agreed that it's also important to show support for the ex-freenode
 volunteers by moving to Libera. Other communications infrastructure (e.g.
 Zulip was mentioned, OFTC was mentioned) can be decided upon or changed
 later.
