Um, it's a list that can have more than one entry :) If 300 people touched a particular package definition, why not have 300 people listed (if they felt inclined to add their name)? :) Also note that a packager is very different from a maintainer. > > On the contrary to your statement, I think that Guix is > extraordinarily inclusive and welcoming for contributions; > newcomers may immediately suggest patches to all existing > packages. I didn't say it wasn't (though I do have some qualms with the mailing list workflow which might scare quite a few people off - especially people that were born in this millennium, aside from email being a fundamentally broken technology anyways - I'm an old fart that's used to them and even I was weary to sign up to yet another ML). I was saying there's a unique opportunity of it being even more so :) But it's just a proposal to ponder a bit.
