Research direction

The issue requests collapsing join/quit messages into a single line in the shout IRC client. Since the repository is deprecated and recommends using the fork at https://github.com/thelounge, the fix should ideally be submitted there. For the original repo, one would need to locate the message rendering logic, likely in a template or UI component, and aggregate consecutive join/quit events. The feature would involve modifying the message display logic to group these events. No further comments or maintainer input available.
