Hi,

> issues when they are reported is also good.

I agree this is a great idea. Recently, I unsubscribed from
guix-patches. It's just too high volume. These days, I prefer to just
search for issues using emacs-debbugs and mumi.

Here's another idea for mumi: mumi should have a JSON API. Debbugs' SOAP
API is quite terrible, and doesn't even expose such things as the number
of emails in an issue. Mumi can offer its own API which does these
things properly. That way, we can write new clients (say, a CLI client)
for mumi, that can filter more intelligently. If we had a good CLI
client, our contributors wouldn't have to set up an email client or
emacs just to participate.

The way I see it, we are outgrowing general purpose bug trackers like
debbugs. We need a special purpose bug tracker specifically for Guix
with its special requirements. We are a big enough community for this to
be important.

I might be able to find some time to implement a simple JSON API for
mumi. Would there be interest in such a contribution?

Regarding, hacking on mumi, I understand that issues.guix.gnu.org is on
an IP whitelist with the GNU debbugs server. How do I hack on mumi if
simply running it on my local machine, and pulling data from GNU debbugs
would alarm the debbugs admins?

Regards,
Arun
