I think that wouldn’t scale, and would also prevent us to have a global view of all the pending submissions (not to mention that debbugs.gnu.org is administered by non-Guix people and they’d quickly be annoyed ;-)). So, let’s ask for guix-pack...@gnu.org (or guix-patc...@gnu.org?) to begin with? >>> What’s unclear to me is how convenient Debbugs is for non-Emacs users: >>> Emacs has M-x debbugs-gnu, which is a significant UI improvement, but >>> how do non-Emacs users deal with Debbugs? >> >> Outside of Emacs I only ever used Debbugs in read-only fashion.
