Matrix user being half-banned causes IRC->Matrix messages to be dropped

I noticed yesterday that messages in #swh-devel on Libera were not bridged to its plumbed room (#swh-devel:matrix.org)

I am guessing this is because a Matrix puppet was disconnected from Libera for spam:

2022-09-06 14:24:59 --> liebebtc[m] (@liebebtc:matrix.org) (~liebebtcm@2001:470:69fc:105::2:79a8) has joined #swh-devel
2022-09-06 17:22:06 <-- liebebtc[m] (~liebebtcm@2001:470:69fc:105::2:79a8) has quit (Quit: User was banned)

but it remained in the room for longer, as it was only kicked on 2022-09-07 12:25:30:

As soon as someone on IRC sent something (at 2022-09-08 09:51:37), the bridge started working again in that channel
