Greetings everyone.
As you know, we migrated a while back from freenode.net to libera.chat for our IRC networks, and we also migrated to a new account system. After these moves, we would like to clear any IRC information that could be no longer correct and allow users to update their accounts with the correct information.
The old Fedora account system had a ‘irc nick’ field. The new Fedora account system has a ‘Chat nicknames’ section. In that section you can put IRC nick(s) or Matrix Ids. If you do not qualify them, they are assumed to be for the libera.chat (IRC) and fedora.im (matrix) networks.
Groups in both the old and new account system have a details section often containing links to mailing list and irc channel.
On 2021-11-10 we are going to remove from the account system all users ‘Chat nicknames’ values and adjust all groups irc channel links from freenode.net to libera.chat. Users are encouraged to login after this time and enter their current and correct Chat nicknames.
Will an additional announcement be going out once this change has been applied, so we know when to update our nicks?
Yes. This change is applied. Please update at your leasure.

I wonder, which mailing list was your original / first message (the announcement, I think?) in this thread sent to? Is there a mailing list archive link for it? Because I seem to be missing the actual announcement mail with all the details from my mail inbox, only subsequent responses are here.

It went to announce@lists.fedoraproject.org, but I guess I should have also sent it to devel-announce? mattdm has suggested that we need something like a 'contributor-announce' for things like this.

Thanks for clearing that up! I had the same thought.

Yeah it's on my guilt-list of things that are pretty much just waiting on me. :)
