Should we do something with #git-devel on Freenode?

Seems like there's been some kerfuffle with Freenode staff and new ownership[1][2][3]. What does this mean for Git project? I think #git on Freenode isn't maintained by Git developers directly, right? (And anyways, the MOTD on #git says the moderators of that channel are monitoring the "Freenode situation" with a pointer to [2].) We do theoretically keep up #git-devel on Freenode, though it's largely silent. Should we be worrying? Migrating? Deciding the low traffic on #git-devel means it's not worth moving? I'm not sure how to balance being alarmist and being practical here, but I thought it was worth bringing up on-list.
