I'm not sure how all this ended up.

But, I would encourage and love for Maxime Devos to be a Guile maintainer. Always great feedback in Guile and other projects (like Fibers) and I really feel Guile would benefit a lot from their contributions.

Just a thought.

It’s happening on debbugs.gnu.org as well.  Debbugs this is easier to
work with via Emacs debbugs.el, which is nice if you already use Emacs
but otherwise unfortunate.

There isn’t much happening on the C side.  Maxime Devos submitted
patches adding bindings for openat(2) and friends that are unfortunately
still pending review.

Patches that add POSIX bindings and similar to libguile should in
general be relatively easy to review (though the openat(2) one may be
trickier because it’s a central functionality and we’d rather get the
interface right.)

Thanks,
Ludo’.
