I did not know. I thought that only person with super power could do that. So I will do. However, I am not sure to understand how the merge needs to be ordered. I have tried with 36789 and 36790. > What I do is to just manually write a cover letter in my MUA, send > it to guix-patches@, and wait for the response with the bug > number.

If I understand well, the basic workflow is: git format-patch -N --cover-letter -o patches edit patches/0000-cover-letter.patch # send as you want patches/0000-cover-letter.patch to guix-patches@ rm patches/0000-cover-letter.patch # wait the bug number git send-email --to=3Dnnnnn@debbugs.gnu.org patches/*.patch Right? > [0]: https://debbugs.gnu.org/server-control.html > [1]: In practice, there are hard limits on the length of these > commands (and possibly the number of commands in one mail).
