this mailing list? I'd be surprised, could have been a troll or a
schizo, there's been a handful of those in the xlibre ml.
You can see the quoted message here. The person was "called" Aviva:

Probably not the maintainer, now I watch the email itself.
These are the people we would have to deal with anyway. The same way
Linus Torvalds (wisely, in his own ways) said "[he] didn't want to
include C++ code in the kernel because he didn't want to deal with C++
people", this is a little bit of the same idea.
I don't care if the package is in Guix, and I even believe we should add
it. But as I said, the "we" doesn't have to include the "I" of anyone
that has better things to do. And having a hostile community makes the
"I"s reorder their packaging priorities.
