How about this:

* Keep OFTC as canonical channel.
* Ask everyone to also lurk on the Freenode channel.
** By lurking we shorten the time on discussions in this
other-major-IRC community.
* Allow conversations to flourish on Freenode, but redirect back to
OFTC channel.
* See what happens over time.

We can have ovirtbot on the Freenode channel, so that channel sees the
activity and so forth. This also allows people to turn a discussion in
to a meeting simply so they can get a log (and #info, #action, etc.)
for sharing with the mailing list later.
