I think the example you give doesn't relate to what you're looking at
below (a post-receive hook).

There were at least two different issues with patches for adding
rofi-wayland [1] and [2].

1: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/53717
2: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/59241

One improvement I can think of here is that QA should highlight that
some of the changes in each of those patch series can be found in
another patch series.

That would then make it easier to both issues to be closed if that's
appropriate.
