Dear Sergio and Suhail,
Thank you for showing interest in my work.
I will open an issue on the debbugs as soon as I have time to update my patch!

Regards,
Sarthak.

I want to echo Suhail sentiment. My self and other members of the

community have expressed interest in your work through different

channels scattered around the web. This is a recurrent topic, an open

issue would encourage participation and sharing ideas. Even if I try to

be active on most of the available Guix communities, I'm sure I miss

many topics due to the scattered nature of the community. I encourage

you to open an issue so it can be a hub for us.

Regards,

Sergio.

I am no authority on the matter, so please take what I say with a grain
of salt.  However, I have seen technical discussions (on features
not-yet-fully-implemented) happen on the bug and patches mailing lists
in addition to guix-devel.  I don't believe there's a strict rule.  To
an extent it's to the discretion of the individual(s) having the
discussion.

Additionally, having an issue open doesn't preclude one from cc-ing
guix-devel in replies, in case that's desired.  Though, whether that's
/desirable/ is a different matter.

It's your prerogative at the end of the day, however, if you would like
others to try out the patches, you may have better luck by creating an
issue where the patch reroll count can be incremented and tracked (and
those interested can follow the progress).
