Quoting https://github.com/codyd51/uefirc:

    Q: Should I use this?
    A: This should not exist.

Well.  This certainly one of the more interesting ways to have some fun
and improve your rust coding skills.  But a justification to include a
mouse driver by default which is not used by anything else?  IMHO it
isn't.

Note that you can load drivers from efi shell with the 'load' command,
so there is no need to have a ovmf firmware image with the mouse drivers
included.  You can boot into efi shell and use a startup.nsh script to
automatically load drivers needed and start the irc app.

HTH & take care,
  Gerd
