No, it hasn't been discussed: it just was passed to my hands and I abused my
power. Bottomline: No one uses it so we should definitely switch to freenode
and end my silly experiment. Do you have any experience in setting up an IRC
channel (which cannot be hijacked after we leave)?
Well, on freenode there are services such as NickServ and ChanServ which prevent hijacking of channels and nicknames. However there is a formal process to register your channel, which you can do here it seems:

Perhaps this is something that the "SAGE Foundation" should do, with William or some other major contributors listed as the primary contacts.
