1. Changing the tag to reviewed-looks-good

It doesn't look like this worked. The way to do this is in the instructions are 4. 'Set a user tag' [0], probably the easiest way is to send an email (I do get funny results sometimes with my email client):

Subject: setting usertag on 65938

user guix
usertag 65938 + reviewed-looks-good
quit

The first line is important it has to be 'user guix' for it to appear on the patch review reports [1]. I think I messed up the instructions in the Wiki - you have to have a + in between the bug number and the tag you want to set (sorry about that). Please try again.

This is really just a way of signalling that reviews are happening - so trying to keep us in sync. The usertags we're using are:

- patch-review-hackers-list
- under-review
- escalated-review-request 
- waiting-on-contributor
- reviewed-looks-good

The patch changes all look reasonable to me, you've already done a lot:

1. You should add a reviewed-by trailer:
Reviews are contributions from our community (and work!) so we should recognise them and add trailers. It also helps the maintainer know who did the review and therefore the level of confidence.

Basically just add 'Reviewed-by: A Person <a@email.com> - [2]

It looks like your updated patch retriggered QA, so if you look here and the foolow the Data Service link on the right you can see it's building it:

  https://qa.guix.gnu.org/issue/65938

The last step will be for a maintainer to see that it's built correctly, see your review and to apply it - great job for a first patch review!
