The need to validate matrix might be less once we have the matrix
server, since people will need to login via our account system to their
@username:fedora.im or @username:fedoraproject.org matrix id.
Of course for those that use a non fedora matrix id it would need to be
validated somehow.

It's basically what FMN does and it works the way Aurélien has described it. I
wonder if we could re-use parts of the code there? Or maybe even share the IRC
bot?
Yeah, reuseing would be great here.
