This was previously marked WONTFIX in bug #414731: > It's not an official channel, if the operators want to make it one, they can > re-ask here. Ideally it would actually be ##gentoo-chat, not #gentoo-chat, but > I understand historical precedent. I believe the situation has since changed, and the topic for the channel links to https://memleek.org/gentoo-chat.txt which states: > As this channel is under the Gentoo Chan mask its an 'Official Gentoo > Channel', we are required to follow not only their rules, but the specific > rules of #Gentoo-Chat.
