At first I wasn't sure if you asked this seriously, due to |

But looks like you are. |

I'm not opposing the idea, but I also don't like it that some org I |
| 20 |
volunteer for starts controlling how I should behave everywhere. I IRC |
| 21 |
on other channels beside Gentoo. If this suggestion goes through, we |
| 22 |
might as well set up our own irc.gentoo.org network, or some of us are |
| 23 |
forced to connect to Libera with 2 different clients/nicks. |

Yes, finding bman or dilfridge from IRC lately has been difficult. But |
| 26 |
if they choose to make it difficult, you can always catch them via e-mail. |

Maybe, as you suggested, there could be an LDAP entry for IRC nick which |
| 29 |
then gets automatically queried into wiki page? But for sure not |
| 30 |
everyone will be updating that either, and maybe this could also be opt-in. |

I just think the price is too high for the benefits. There's life |
| 33 |
outside Gentoo. |
