Thanks for the submission Feng!
Just a couple of things:
1) Try to send your email as plaintext, not html. Most developers prefer
plaintext emails. :)
2) I would encourage you to read this webpage:
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Submitting-Patches.html
Essentially you should submit patches with "git send-email"
( https://git-send-email.io/ ), and you should submit patches to:
guix-patc...@gnu.org . Guix devel does not create an bug report.
BUT guix-patc...@gnu.org will create a correspending bug report at
issues.guix.gnu.org.
Thanks again for helping guix!
