Hi Guix Devel,
I just found out that sending a patch to guix-patches@gnu.org (all
gnu.org emails) requires reverse DNS, which requires a static IP and
consent from an ISP. I'm a digital nomad that self-hosts email on
devices strewn accross the US, so obtaining a static IP is not feasable
for me (I don't have accounts with any ISPs). I'm a little disappointed
that gnu.org wants me te centralize my email, the OG decentralized
protocol: even Google doesn't block my email. Since gnu.org blocks my
emails, I cannot send my patches to improve Guix.
Is there some way I can contribute to Guix without a static IP address,
or using some centralized gatekeeper?
-Zacchae
PS. Yes, I dug up my Google credentials to send this email. No I will
not use that as a long-term solution. It is rediculous that I need
Google to even get in contact with a GNU project.
