Okay, I really don't want you to shut up. As you say, we all have our own itches to scratch (my phrase is "motivation is not fungible"), and Guix should try to make use of everyone's energy. But I got the impression (probably mistaken) that you felt the committers / reviewers were choosing to spurn contributions, and it really bothered me. Like I said, many of us are giving as much time and energy as we can.
