as a quick concrete question: Do simple package updates still count as trivial, or do they need to go through the patches mailing list? I intended to update pari-gp from 2.15.1 to 2.15.2, as usual by checking that all dependent packages still compile. Having to fiddle with debbugs is somewhat deterring (although admittedly having qa compile all dependent packages is also a service in a context where I do not expect problems). In case the answer is that submitting to the patch tracker is required, I would suggest to shorten the waiting period from one week to zero (meaning that it is okay to push when there are no problems detected by qa, without having to wait for human review that has no reason to occur). I would also like to update mpfr and mpc in core-updates. The documentation mentions the different branches under Step 9: https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/devel/en/html_node/Submitting-Patches.html but how is this specified in the email to the patch tracker, so that qa applies the patch to the correct branch? Thanks for your help, Andreas
