Cycle 5: Continuation of the Matrix <> Slack Bridge

As discussed on Slack, if this does not happen, Matrix users would have to actually create Slack accounts. Creating Slack user accounts is free. So my questions are:

• Under what condition would a user have access to Matrix but not Slack? Geopolitical stuff or just user relunctance?
• How many users will actually be affected?

Thanks!

And I would like to keep the scope of discussion here to Astropy users, not other projects that rely on Matrix.

@Cadair - this FR doesn't connect back to the roadmap, which is likely to lead to lower funding priority. That said, I suspect that might be intentional since it explicitly says "None" for the relevant roadmap items.

That being said, I think you're not being fair to your own proposal with that "none"! While I myself might not like it 😉, I think you could make a reasonable case that some of the roadmap items under https://github.com/astropy/astropy-project/blob/main/roadmap/roadmap.md#community-building-and-sustainability are relevant.
