Do we need to go into all that detail?  Would it be enough to just write
something like:

*** Update IRC-related references to point to Libera.Chat.
The Free Software Foundation and the GNU Project has moved their
official IRC channels from the Freenode network to Libera.Chat.  For the
original announcement and the follow-up update, including more details,

Thanks.  What I wrote felt appropriate at the time, but I suppose
there's indeed no need for that much detail here.  If you change the
"has moved" to "have moved" in your proposed text, the rest looks good
to me.
