This reminds me of my personal workflow in a small package maintaining project which looks like this (just to give some more input on this, this is obviously not ideal to scale up to the size of guix.. maybe): Distributed instances of the git repository, everybody works on a checkout local to them, every persons instances is a remote you pull from and do the work to keep them in sync. Discussion happens on psyced.org. The post-receive hook sends a notice to a psyced server which distributes it to people subscribed to the channel (git2psyc hook). This only works for small groups where everybody is competent enough not to mess up the work. > The only thing I don't like about github/gogs from an UI perspective is the > merge button.
