This part of the config seems to address identification....

Oh! Guidance here!

Oh wow, you can do this! Messaging @_oftc_nickserv:matrix.org and then accepting it's private message PM invite.

and if you are jywarren you'll actually be jywarren[m] to nickserv; so register PASSWORD EMAIL_ADDRESS will register you

Even while identified manually (and theres' an automated way here https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/wiki/End-user-FAQ#and-do-it-automatically) i wasn't able to speak from Matrix/Riot into IRC... ☹️

Can we have people auto-identified if from Matrix? @icarito

Added messages to plotsbot quiet and voice behaviors to tell people to join via a non-IRC chat...

I tried /mode +q #publiclab instead of /mode +m #publiclab to allow exemptions for bots, but got this message:

#publiclab #publiclab Channel ban list is full

OK, i added /mode +mz #publiclab which means ops can hear quieted/moderated people, so we at least know if a real person is stuck -- this from https://nedbatchelder.com/blog/201808/fighting_spam_on_freenode.html
