There's an overlay: https://gpo.zugaina.org/Overlays/ring-overlay, source at https://github.com/stefan-langenmaier/ring-overlay
It uses the old names. Jami used to be known as Ring.

qt version of client. Note gtk wersion will stop working in the near future

Jami team announced that they will stop support gtk client in couple of months.
I think it's good idea to switch to the qt version. 
The corresponding ebuild is attached.

Overlay ebuild is currently only offering version 20191110.1 so it's two years old.
This seems to be a nice, free (in a GPL way) and modern communication tool, pity it's not available in portage.
