Creating a C/C++ team?

[Greg Hogan <code@greghogan.com>]

Guix,

Should we have a C++ team? I think project contributions regarding C
and C++ compilers, libraries, tools, and programs would benefit from a
tag to flag, discuss, and triage issues and a team branch to manage,
test, and pre-build patches.

This team would of course be distinct from the core-packages team,
which manages the most fundamental packages and challenging updates.

Updates to C++ packages often result in a non-trivial number of
dependent package builds, which makes patch review challenging and
leads to overlooked or forgotten contributions and long-delayed
merges. Also, widely used Guix C++ packages are several versions and
many years out-of-date. A C++ team would help us to be more responsive
both to contributors and upstream releases while maintaining a stable
rolling-release and making efficient use of build farm compute and
storage.
