For some reason QA still doesn't seem to be working for https://issues.guix.gnu.org/71203 (a Racket update I sent on May 26), which I suspect may be related to this. Could someone take a look?

The page at https://qa.guix.gnu.org/issue/71203 says "Issue not found: This could mean the issue does not exist, it has no patches or has been closed." The page at https://data.qa.guix.gnu.org/repository/1/branch/issue-71203 does recognize the branch, but says "No information yet". The linked commit page at https://data.qa.guix.gnu.org/revision/2805bc613df06a726035ba19e9b60762487963ef has one entry in the "Jobs" table, "created 2024-05-26 06:07:51.458233".

I have only surface-level familiarity with the QA system, so sorry if I'm missing something!

Thanks,
Philip
