Hi Felix, Guixers,

Hi,

I enabled an experimental barebones feature that broadcasts Debbugs changes on #guix. It's another technical feature that could improve the
speed at which bugs are being closed.

Please let me know what you think!


Reiterating what I said in IRC:

I think the bot messages have value, but the value is subjective. To regular Guix users, they have more value, and to those looking for help with problems, they have less.

Becasue of this, I think the messages need to be opt-in. The simplest way to do that is to put them in a separate channel, which those who want to see the messages can join. I could see posting in #guix for uncommon, exceptional, and/or important cases, such as new bugs with grave severity being filed (or existing bugs upgraded to grave severity).

Thanks,

 -- Ian
