Right now, if you want!  Though, I guess it would be best for us to
gather a few more volunteer for that list.

I’ve created a new alias on fencepost.gnu.org, which currently forwards
mails to you and me only.

Who else wants to join?  The requirements:

- you have commit access
- you will try to claim a new contribution within 48 hours,
  Cc-ing guix-mentors@gnu.org
- you will try to reshape the contribution as needed to make it
  ready for inclusion in Guix (don’t make the new contributor
  send revisions)

Let me know and I’ll update the mail
alias.
