[Matrix/Keybase] Bridge/relay the official rooms (#general:privacytools.io/keybase)

Service

Matrix (and Keybase)

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We have official instant messaging precenses at Matrix #general:privacytools.io and https://keybase.io/team/privacytools_io and I don't like how there is no relation between them.

Describe the solution you'd like

Matterbridge supports both Keybase and Matrix.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• There appears to be a dedicated bridge for it, but I don't think it supports bridging groups yet.
  • https://github.com/Half-Shot/matrix-keybase
• We could discontinue the Matrix room? However that doesn't seem like a good choice of action considering it's a federated system we support more than Keybase and we are hosting an instance.
• We could discontinue the Keybase room? However it has active chatters and seems to be used as an additional channel about Matrix downtimes in addition to status.privacytools.io

Additional context

Matterbridge regardless of the name would be more like relaybot in my opinion, it's a single bot through which the other side(s) are visible and it doesn't require anything else than hosting and account on both sides. No Synapse appservice configuration necessary.

Theoretically it could be hosted somewhere outside of PrivacyTools infra also, but I don't think that would be a good idea as PrivacyTools infra exists and not using it would lead into a depedency on a team/community member.

@privacytools/editorial this issue can be closed because we no longer recommend keybase. I can't close it because I don't have admin powers or whatever....

Will the Keybase chat also be removed ?

I think everyone left, and all links have been removed from the site.
