Sure, perhaps we should mention it at the top of
<https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/contribute/> and/or link to
<https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Contributing.html>?

That’d be great!

As I see it, the new version is more clearly structured, clarifies the
wording in some places, and introduces a distinction between “project
team” and “project maintainers”.  Perhaps we’d need to clarify what the
“project team” is in our case (?).

Apart from this, I think 1.4 follows the spirit of 1.3.0 and its
clarifications are welcome, so I’d be in favor of “upgrading”.

What do people think?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Tonton!
