In the context of this increasing cognitive overheading thread...

As I wrote: «I don't think thay adopting a «web based PR model»
(whatever the term "pull request" means, editor note) for the Guix
project is a good idea.»

To remain /in topic/: I think that adopting a «web based PR model» will
definitely _not_ decrease the cognitive overhead for contributors.

Also, replacing (or adding to) the current "integration request" email
based workflow with a "web based PR model" (that _imply_ a web based
patch review strictly connected with the choosen "forge"?) would be an
/overwelming/ cognitive overhead for all.

Last but not least, I also think that adding a patch review system like
Gerrit or Gerrit, Phabricator, and Review Board would not only
_increase_ the overall cognitive overhead but is also /technically/
_broken_.

Why I think all this things?  Well, I'm sorry but it's a _very_ long
story and is all written down in the /details/.

I'm done with this thread, sorry; I'll drift alone :-) 

Happy hacking, Gio'
