Joining Twitch Streams in Emacs

Vivienne likes using Emacs to manage its email. It prefers notmuch, especially since it lends itself incredibly well to totally flattening several disconnected email accounts and aliases into one location, but mu4e is another common option for this. Email already is how Vivienne receives channel live notifications for twitch.tv. Recently, it learned that you can watch Twitch streams using mpv, whether via yt-dlp or streamlink (streamlink seems to be more reliable for this purpose), and that Twitch chats are normal IRC channels. This caused it a flash of inspiration: What if it could open Twitch streams in MPV and, and their associated chat channels in ERC, directly from those notification emails in Emacs?
