Attention is currently required from: Nico Huber, Edward O'Callaghan, Angel Pons.
Felix Singer would like build bot (Jenkins), Nico Huber, Edward O'Callaghan and Angel Pons to review this change.
Replace freenode references
The flashrom project no longer uses freenode. To avoid having outdated
man pages in the future, the contact methods are now listed in the wiki.
