(...) This is a difficult to do in a nice way without a wall of text. It's a key question so I've added help text: For this question choose **User** if you use Guix: this includes community members who promote the project and take part in the support channels. Choose **Contributor** if you also sent patches of any form: whether those are code, documentation, translations or anything else. Choose **Committer** if you have access to the Guix Git repository.

(...) Added it, since that's certainly the reason I started using Guix. This question is trying explore the "initial interest" so it's reasonable to have a variety of things. Steve / Futurile
