Looks promising and has lots of potential applications for bridges! I'm excited to see where this goes :)
Edit: This was meant to be a Request Changes for the below issues, but doesn't make much of a difference at the moment.

This MSC has evolved, and so has my review!

Some more thoughts from myself. And as a helpful recap for everyone, the current major TODOs for this MSC I see from other discussions:
- Clarification that this will require a new room version (and adding a new development room version to the homeserver implementation).
- Decide whether to switch this MSC to adding a join rule for "private"/"knock", which would decide who can have the membership of "knock".
- Preventing spam can be achieved by banning spammers or ACL'ing a malicious homeserver, rather than power levels
- A solution for how progress of knocks are communicated to the client
- and to only return a subset of the room state to the knocking server in an effort to prevent leaking room information
- Decide whether to have two separate CS endpoints for effectively the same functionality ala.
join
, or to break the mould.

Synapse 1.37.0rc1 (2021-06-24) ============================== This release deprecates the current spam checker interface. See the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/upgrade#deprecation-of-the-current-spam-checker-interface) for more information on how to update to the new generic module interface. This release also removes support for fetching and renewing TLS certificates using the ACME v1 protocol, which has been fully decommissioned by Let's Encrypt on June 1st 2021. Admins previously using this feature should use a [reverse proxy](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/reverse_proxy.html) to handle TLS termination, or use an external ACME client (such as [certbot](https://certbot.eff.org/)) to retrieve a certificate and key and provide them to Synapse using the `tls_certificate_path` and `tls_private_key_path` configuration settings. Features -------- - Implement "room knocking" as per [MSC2403](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2403). Contributed by @Sorunome and anoa.

([\#10191](#10191)) Bugfixes -------- - Fix a bug introduced in Synapse v1.25.0 that prevented the `ip_range_whitelist` configuration option from working for federation and identity servers.

([\#10198](#10198)) Deprecations and Removals ------------------------- - The current spam checker interface is deprecated in favour of a new generic modules system.

Synapse 1.37.0 (2021-06-29) =========================== This release deprecates the current spam checker interface. See the [upgrade notes](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/upgrade#deprecation-of-the-current-spam-checker-interface) for more information on how to update to the new generic module interface. This release also removes support for fetching and renewing TLS certificates using the ACME v1 protocol, which has been fully decommissioned by Let's Encrypt on June 1st 2021. Admins previously using this feature should use a [reverse proxy](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/reverse_proxy.html) to handle TLS termination, or use an external ACME client (such as [certbot](https://certbot.eff.org/)) to retrieve a certificate and key and provide them to Synapse using the `tls_certificate_path` and `tls_private_key_path` configuration settings. Synapse 1.37.0rc1 (2021-06-24) ============================== Features -------- - Implement "room knocking" as per [MSC2403](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2403). Contributed by @Sorunome and anoa. ([\#6739](matrix-org/synapse#6739), [\#9359](matrix-org/synapse#9359), [\#10167](matrix-org/synapse#10167), [\#10212](matrix-org/synapse#10212), [\#10227](matrix-org/synapse#10227)) - Add experimental support for backfilling history into rooms ([MSC2716](matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2716)).

([\#10062](matrix-org/synapse#10062), [\#10206](matrix-org/synapse#10206)) - Implement config option `sso.update_profile_information` to sync SSO users' profile information with the identity provider each time they login. Currently only displayname is supported. ([\#10108](matrix-org/synapse#10108)) - Ensure that errors during startup are written to the logs and the console. ([\#10191](matrix-org/synapse#10191)) Bugfixes -------- - Fix a bug introduced in Synapse v1.25.0 that prevented the `ip_range_whitelist` configuration option from working for federation and identity servers. Contributed by @mikure. ([\#10115](matrix-org/synapse#10115)) - Remove a broken import line in Synapse's `admin_cmd` worker. Broke in Synapse v1.33.0. ([\#10154](matrix-org/synapse#10154)) - Fix a bug introduced in Synapse v1.21.0 which could cause `/sync` to return immediately with an empty response. ([\#10157](matrix-org/synapse#10157), [\#10158](matrix-org/synapse#10158)) - Fix a minor bug in the response to `/_matrix/client/r0/user/{user}/openid/request_token` causing `expires_in` to be a float instead of an integer. Contributed by @lukaslihotzki. ([\#10175](matrix-org/synapse#10175)) - Always require users to re-authenticate for dangerous operations: deactivating an account, modifying an account password, and adding 3PIDs. ([\#10184](matrix-org/synapse#10184)) - Fix a bug introduced in Synpase v1.7.2 where remote server count metrics collection would be incorrectly delayed on startup. Found by @heftig. ([\#10195](matrix-org/synapse#10195)) - Fix a bug introduced in Synapse v1.35.1 where an `allow` key of a `m.room.join_rules` event could be applied for incorrect room versions and configurations. ([\#10208](matrix-org/synapse#10208)) - Fix performance regression in responding to user key requests over federation. Introduced in Synapse v1.34.0rc1. ([\#10221](matrix-org/synapse#10221)) Improved Documentation ---------------------- - Add a new guide to decoding request logs. ([\#8436](matrix-org/synapse#8436)) - Mention in the sample homeserver config that you may need to configure max upload size in your reverse proxy. Contributed by @aaronraimist.

([\#10062](matrix-org/synapse#10062), [\#10210](matrix-org/synapse#10210), [\#10238](matrix-org/synapse#10238)) - Stop supporting the unstable spaces prefixes from MSC1772. ([\#10161](matrix-org/synapse#10161)) - Remove Synapse's support for automatically fetching and renewing certificates using the ACME v1 protocol. This protocol has been fully turned off by Let's Encrypt for existing installations on June 1st 2021. Admins previously using this feature should use a [reverse proxy](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/develop/reverse_proxy.html) to handle TLS termination, or use an external ACME client (such as [certbot](https://certbot.eff.org/)) to retrieve a certificate and key and provide them to Synapse using the `tls_certificate_path` and `tls_private_key_path` configuration settings. ([\#10194](matrix-org/synapse#10194)) Internal Changes ---------------- - Update the database schema versioning to support gradual migration away from legacy tables.

Soru is also interested in providing implementations in both synapse and riot-web for this, however, as her workload is currently rather high so the development progress would likely be slowly.
