Hi Guix Devel,

I just found out that sending a patch to guix-patc...@gnu.org (all
gnu.org emails) requires reverse DNS, which requires a static IP and
consent from an ISP.  I'm a digital nomad that self-hosts email on
devices strewn accross the US, so obtaining a static IP is not feasable
for me (I don't have accounts with any ISPs).  I'm a little disappointed
that gnu.org wants me te centralize my email, the OG decentralized
protocol: even Google doesn't block my email.  Since gnu.org blocks my
emails, I cannot send my patches to improve Guix.

Is there some way I can contribute to Guix without a static IP address,
or using some centralized gatekeeper?

PS. Yes, I dug up my Google credentials to send this email.  No I will
not use that as a long-term solution.  It is rediculous that I need
Google to even get in contact with a GNU project.
