Hi,

Someone would review it, apply the patch, and then push.

2 months is too long.  If you don’t hear from us after a week your 
patch likely fell through the cracks and nobody realized it.  You 
can ping us.

I wasn’t aware of your patch, but I found it here:

    https://issues.guix.gnu.org/47697

The commit message isn’t according to our standards, but that’s 
easy to fix.  The patch itself looks fine, so I’m going to apply 
it in a moment.  Sorry about taking so long!
