Welcome @Stephen

In regards to nixifying Zulip, it looks like this comment suggests that the upstream project (Zulip software) will need to clean up a bunch of things first,

Zulip was originally designed to take over the entire system, and the path to correcting that mistake has been very slow. [..] I believe the process of porting Zulip to Nix will force us to clean this all up, but it’s going to take a while.

So I believe it will be a while before we get a Zulip module in NixOS
