Re: Assisting reviewing & committing with tags?

[Bengt Richter <bokr@bokr.com>]

Hi guix,

It sounds like a good idea, but ISTM we don't need yet another markup syntax
if emacs org mode already defines a useful standard that can be adopted.

The advantage to org mode style [0] -- in commit commentary as well as tags
would be its scrapability -- i.e., ease of writing an extractor/formatter
for handy report snippets/pages and web stuff etc., whether implemented
using foreign shell or within guix.
