I am not quite sure how this is supposed to make things easier. Why not simply use a branch in the guix repo (like the existing wip-hurd, or wip-wip-hurd for very experimental changes)? Then every commit of yours will be sent to our mailing list, and you develop directly in our infrastructure. Not to mention that github is not exactly popular in the free software community, see "service as a software substitute", or https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/who-does-that-server-really-serve.html Andreas
