[1] Pings are usually not worth it anywhere, not just in GNU Guix. Pings are likely to be ineffective in hastening the acceptance of your patch but will almost certainly affect your social relationships negatively. > This patch allows users to specify configuration files for NetworkManager. If you require that change personally, as I suspect you do, my recommendation would be to clone the Guix repo and pull your 'guix' executable from your custom branch. For example, I have in my channels.scm a branch that I rebase periodically. [2] I pull with guix pull --allow-downgrades --disable-authentication That kind of setup totally removes the timing pressure from your contribution. It also allows you to test your patch in real life and then argue with committers solely about its merits. It's better for everybody, I think. It may leave everyone, most importantly yourself, in a happier place.
