When I noticed 'gnu: Add guix-send-email', I expected a wrapper around
'git send-email' that provided some additional functionality, more
specifically, I expected you could do something like
$ guix send-email commit1..commit2 --base=commit1
and it would automatically take care of first sending the cover letter,
then waiting for a response, then send the later e-mails to
NNNNN@debbugs.gnu.org.
Without such additional functionality (*), I don't think it's really
useful. However, if it's added to Guix proper (maybe Guix proper could
be tweaked to say 'hint: did you mean git send-email [...]?'), I think
it could be valuable (I would think it's somewhat unlikely for people
that need some help with figuring out that the correct command is "git
send-email" and not "guix send-email", to determine that they need to
install "guix-send-email", so I don't think it solves (b) well).

If there is interest in such a command (and not 'merely' as an example
on how to write Guix extensions), I think it would be valuable and
low-cost to have this in Guix proper. (Vacuuming is for reducing disk
usage, if the disk is (close to) full and needs some vacuuming, it might
be too late to install "guix-vacuum-database" ...)
Greetings,
Maxime
(*) integrating etc/teams stuff would be nice too.
