Re: emacs-guix (upstream) needs more love: a survey of repositories, homepage and issues

[Théo Maxime Tyburn]

Hi,

I would also be happy to help if I can.

I could create a new branch starting at savannah’s HEAD and
cherry pick everything relevant from gitlab since the merge-base. That
would probably be everything except the duplicates, so the 4 commit
Kaelyn mentioned, right ?

Probably we also need to gather the issues from gitlab. Not experienced
with savannah issue tracker, but I could try it out. 

Cheers,

Théo
