He he, I'm getting the hint! ;-) Maybe, I'll write a blog post when
guix-forge is a little bit more featureful! :-)

I have added gitile, klaus and other git web viewers to my agenda. I'm
sure everyone will have their favorite git web viewer. So, it'll be good
to cater to a wider range of tastes. Besides, it's really easy to
support multiple read-only git web viewers. Patches welcome! ;-)

Also, I'm thinking parts of guix-forge can be gradually merged into Guix
itself. The webhook-service-type in guix-forge is already a good
candidate with wider use cases than just guix-forge.

Mumi is tricky to deploy since it is not standalone and requires being
on a special IP allowlist with the Debbugs GNU servers. If mumi could be
augmented to not need a Debbugs server at all, then it would become much
more attractive.

Thanks for inventing Guix and making guix-forge inevitable! :-)
