Hey, do you happen to use Matrix for comms, or frequent any 9front-related matrix channels?

No. Matrix is not usable on plan 9, to my knowledge, so the people that care tend to use IRC or our own 9p-based home-grown chat system known as gridchat. Those that don't seem to have settled on discord. (Unsurprisingly, it seems most committers fall into the first camp).
Here's a good summary of the places people tend to cluster: https://inbox.vuxu.org/9front/AB8856CD6456E7C4532F41567DBE7D...

I think it's a bit of a shame because Matrix the communication protocol lends very nicely to distributed systems, and I believe it may actually play cool with 9p.
