[ocaml-infra] Request to start a gitter.im room for github:ocaml/ocaml and a bridge to IRC

My understanding is that the bridge logs one IRC user per gitter user (the
nick is derived from the github username, so it's longer than usual IRC
nicknames), but has a single gitter user/bot that says "<user> on Freenode:
<message>", as you can see in the logs.

I would thus guess that moderation may need cooperation from both sides --
a troll on IRC needs to be silenced on IRC, and a troll on gitter to use
gitter's moderation feature, whatever they are. If this turned to be a
problem, we could cut the bridge.

I would definitely consider a requirement that someone volunteers to
perform gitter-side administration and moderation duties.
