After 7 years, 11 weeks and 3 days, this ticket feels really alone,
especially when the bug is still there, if I read correctly.

Well, after more than 7 years, maybe this bug is now a feature. ;-)
Considering the project switched from Debbugs to Codeberg on 2025 [::]
and considering the migration path states that both ’bug-guix’ and
’guix-patches’ mailing lists should be now in “Emergency Moderation”
mode, what could be the best next action?
Closing without any further action?
Let it here waiting a bit more?
Transferring to Codeberg as a fresh issue?
WDYT?
Cheers,
simon
