I agree with this vision! I think OS declarations make this pretty simple (this and also specialized distros =C3=A0 la FreedomBox, Tails, etc., but that=E2=80=99s another story.) ng0 packaged a whole bunch of Mailman=E2=80=99s and Kallithea=E2=80=99s (so= urce code hosting) dependencies already: https://bugs.gnu.org/25733 https://bugs.gnu.org/25736 Ludo=E2=80=99.
