what would you need
This is entirely not up to me and out of my direct control. As far as I am concerned that app is ready to use. A ui would of course make it easier to use, but since you can easily modify a file inside of the app is pretty sufficient to make it run.
Its mainly about @nebulon and @girish which apps they do want to support by adding it to the appcenter.

I note that there is now a matterbridge app for Nextcloud, which will be installed by default in Nextcloud 20 see:

@jdaviescoates Whats most interesting (to me) is they seem to have given Matterbridge a basic UI for users to configure the cross-service set-up. This is critical for users to be able to use it. I've managed to get it working via CLI but it should not require that to make it work.
I've waited almost 20 years to get cross service communication platform working. I had it briefly with XMPP and the Google and FB went and messed with it. -
I really do like Nextcloud's Matterbridge implementation. I do agree that a user-friendly UI going with it is critical to it being picked up by Cloudron users.

If anyone is willing to try and put code a basic UI for matterbridge, I'm happy to do the design work. I don't think it'd be too much work - essentially building up commands from predefined elements (username, network address, password, channel etc).

Let me pile in too. Sounds very useful. Would be lovely if we managed to support XMPP on Cloudron with it. How is that XMPP app request going? https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/2486/ejabberd-robust-scalable-and-extensible-realtime-server-using-xmpp-mqtt-and-sip
