Hi Guix,

I have seen different opinions [1][2] regarding sending pings to patches
that aren't getting reviewed or are otherwise lacking attention.

To get a better idea of peoples' opinions, I've created a survey. Please
do take it, it's only two questions long.

I think it would be good for Guix to have stated guidelines on this
subject, so that everybody knows in advance what is considered
acceptable and what isn't. Right now it is difficult for a new
contributor to judge whether sending a ping will help or not. Hopefully
the survey is a step in the right direction.

Thanks,
45mg

P.S. Regarding the option 'To a dedicated thread or list meant for pings
(hypothetical)': I was thinking along the lines of NixOS's monthly 'PRs
ready for review' threads [3].
