Or by the Guix community ?

I hadn't thought about this

This is a potential problem that deservses exploration

I think issue tracking in git could be explored starting with smaller
projects first

Probably Guix is too large and entrenched to be used as a test bed for
this kind of explorations

I'm asking about the state of the art in this regard because I feel
that server based solutions are problematic even for free software
oriented organizations

And should the bitcoin community explore this a bit, that would be a
very interesting development, in my view
