I got the invite and was able to set things up, so now the
invite-only Matrix room - aliased as #qgis.dev:osgeo.org -
is bridged to the invite-only IRC channel #qgis-private on
libera.chat network.

People who don't want/can't use Matrix but want to partecipate
via IRC can do so by obtaining an invitation (/invite <nickname>)
which is lost after leaving the channel or by obtaining a permanent
invitation excempt, for which I recommend only trusting *registered*
IRC users. Adding an excempt (example: /mode #qgis-private +I $a:jef )

The current list of registered Libera IRC users who have access
to the channel is: jef, strk, duiv. Anyone else wanting to use IRC
please just ask (maybe on the public channel). How to decide whether
to grant invites - though - is still not clear to me :)
