I must admit I've not been following very closely your work on Guix Data
Service. However, I must admit that being able to have an overview of
the status of all packages of a given branch is something that would
really be nice.

On this patch more specifically, is this really necessary to create a
separate process? Could the task of pushing events be done in the main
cuirass binary, periodically in a separate thread/fiber?

Thanks,

Mathieu
