  A new MatrixBridge joined but we never attempted to connect another one. Logs suggest the connect callback fired ('connected' log) without a corresponding 'connecting' log. Lots of requests on ident for ports which we don't think anyone is on currently.

    There were no duplicates from IRC > Matrix, probably because the hooks were never added (this is done in the connecting log line).
