I don't think this is a fair summary of the goal. The first sentence of the GCD[1] is: The contribution workflow in Guix has been facing several challenges: difficult onboarding, lack of legibility, complex, unreliable, and labor-intensive infrastructure, and lack of automation. Of these, only "difficult onboarding" is about newcomers. Your proposal (which I might describe as "proxy Codeberg into debbugs") involves building new infrastructure without helping the other issues. > Since Codeberg already allows to communicate in issues over email, > i.e. you can respond to someone in a particular issue over email, this > shouldn’t be too difficult to arrange. This is not true today. While Forgejo supports replying via email, Codeberg does not have that enabled due to bugs. They have an issue tracking it: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Community/issues/1562 Even if it was true, the big disconnect here would be around commenting on specific lines of code. An email with a comment on a patch would come through as a top-level comment on the PR, which is not natural in that context. Carlo
