As an update:
last night, new freenode staff seized control over the linux, free software
foundation and python channels, banning long term members on the way to do so.

The rule that single-# channels are official is no longer in place, and people
not endorsed by FSF were granted operator status in the FSF channel.
Even though I know that we can't speed up the Matrix migration, I highly
recommend we cut ties with freenode as soon as possible, and I expect us to be
screwed over during the migration as well, so expect some turbulence.
Kind regards,
Christian
