FYI, I contacted Rubén recently asking a number of questions to
determine whether I may be able to take up [co-]maintaining IceCat.
But while I use IceCat daily, I know very little about Firefox from a
development perspective. So if there is anyone willing to take the time
to answer some questions of mine to get me up to speed more quickly, I'd
appreciate it. If there are people who would be willing to help
maintain IceCat, that'd be even better. I don't have a lot of time, but
considering that IceCat is effectively unmaintained, a little bit of
time is better than no time.
If I don't hear back from Rubén by the end of next week, I'll either
call him at the FSF or seek the answers elsewhere.
As far as packaging it for Guix goes---I can't commit to doing that yet,
since I have very little experience there too and IceCat isn't the
easiest thing to package. But if I do take up [co-]maintainership, the
ideal situation would be for me or someone else to update Guix the same
day that IceCat releases are published to gnu.org, or even produce the
releases using Guix, as Mark has done.
I'll have more information in the next couple of weeks.
