#3726: Register Tahoe-LAFS project with Libera.Chat

---------------------+---------------------------
 See #3721 for background.

 We have registered `#tahoe-lafs` IRC channel with irc.libera.chat's
 !ChanServ.  We probably should also register Tahoe-LAFS project with
 Libera.Chat. See their docs on [[https://libera.chat/chanreg#project-
 registration|project registration]] for details.  Basically: "project
 registration allows your project or organisation to have an official
 representation on our services and relationship with us."

 Advantages of registering a project are, to quote Libera.Chat's docs
 again:

 >
 > * Channels in their namespace can be claimed
 > * Optional cloaks are available for members. These replace the hostname
 part with a custom string, e.g. `@yourproject/developer/alex` or
 `@yourproject/taylor`
 > * We offer to send messages about important releases or events of your
 project as a “wallop” message to all our users who opted in to receiving
 these
 >

 Those seem like good things, so I emailed them, and received this in
 response:

 Hello!

 Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you; we've been absolutely swamped
 with a registration backlog, abuse mitigation, and network maintenance and
 patching.

 To assist with project verification, please perform the following:

 1) Prove control over tahoe-lafs.org via either:
 1A) Create the DNS TXT record libera-[redacted].tahoe-lafs.org
     (with any content)
 1B) Create the file /.well-known/libera-[redacted].txt on the web
     server (with any content)

 2) Prove control over the GitHub organisation via either:
 2A) Creation of the source code repository
     https://github.com/tahoe-lafs/libera-[redacted] (with any content)
 2B) Creation of the branch libera-[redacted] in the source code
     repository https://github.com/tahoe-lafs/tahoe-lafs/ (with any
 content)

 Regards,
 Aaron Jones (amdj)
 LiberaChat Staff
 }}}

 I can't do 1A, 1B, and 2A.  I can do 2B.  I could use this ticket number
 for creating a branch.
