The debbugs interface shows all open patches already. (We should get more people to use guix-patches instead of guix-devel, though.) Other than that I’d like to second everything Leo has written. I agree with Pjotr that obviously it would be nice to have faster/more reviews/mentoring. That’s something everybody can help with, even if it is just a matter of reviewing licenses or trying to build or run the package. But this all falls apart under stress (speaking from experience here), so it’s best not to force it. -- Ricardo GPG: BCA6 89B6 3655 3801 C3C6 2150 197A 5888 235F ACAC https://elephly.net
