I cannot answer this without more context.
In the case of Guix this sometimes happens because of code staging,
which is described in detail here:
https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.00833
It’s a known limitation that is not easy to solve in general.

Different people work on different things that they find interesting.
It’s not a good idea to tell other people what they should spend their
volunteering time on. Somebody who currently works on bringing Python
to the Guile VM may be in a unique position to do just that, but would
be a terrible choice for the job of improving compiler messages.
A volunteer project of this size simply doesn’t work this way.
I do know, though, that a discussion on guix-devel@gnu.org is not going
to lead to the desired outcome in Guile. Only work on Guile can achieve
that. For discussions about Guile, to submit proposals and to volunteer
your time for implementing the proposals, please continue this
discussion with the Guile community on guile-de...@gnu.org.
