Despite me being in support of a workflow that doesn’t require opening a browser, while thinking about how Linux kernel does it and Guix, I had to realize that Linux gets a *lot* more in funding and infrastructure than Guix. Of course part of it is because of sheer technological necessity of handling a 30M LOC project that’s used by everyone. But it’s also because they *can* get it, through the help of Linux Foundation and so on. I don’t think we have that many degrees of freedom here, so we need to be careful about our resources, and the work of volunteers and committers. I would be open to a consideration of using BugZilla or Gerrit for that matter, even though I’m not used to them, the possibility of working with them without a browser, motivates me to learn them.
