I've investigated the requirements to enable Mattermost on the GitLab
installation. It seems it requires a separate virtual host and expects to
be accessible at the root path on that host. It's probably possible to get
around this but would require more knowledge about ngnix than I currently
have and will result in a customized installation that may not be
upgradable.

The officially supported IRC bridge (matterbridge) does seem promising and
well received by the community.
