It=E2=80=99s just that the people who could have=20 applied your patch did not. Part of the reason is that one of=20 them (me!) is no longer subscribed to the guix-patches list,=20 another part is that people are busy preparing the upcoming=20 release. So I guess it just fell through the cracks. You are welcome to=20 ping people.

There is a standard format, yes. We have tools to generate a commit message in the correct format,=20 such as =E2=80=9Cetc/committer.scm=E2=80=9D or the =E2=80=9Cadd=E2=80=9D ya= snippet when using=20 Magit. --=20 Ricardo
