I recently used that page to include a package, but, personally, I didn't like that I had to create an account (I don't have other uses for that account). > I didn't know that existed, thanks for bringing it into my attention. > > I would prefer, indeed, a version with more details such as the progress > and who is working on it.

I think the issue tracker has the information you are looking for, and it should be advertised as the tool for package requests. Some advantages: * People don't have to create an account to send package requests. * It has search functionality. * You can see who's working on a package and find patches with work in progress. If the issue tracker were used for package requests, I guess these requests could be tagged (like easy issues http://issues.guix.gnu.org/easy). That way you could also point people to the current list of requested packages before they send a new request. As Alexandru-Sergiu, suggests, relevant pages in the website could be updated to make this information more visible. I could send a patch for this.
