Hi, this is a sugestion on guix patches: Other GNU/Linux distributions often have fixed maintainers (or packagers) for specific packages. While that model may not apply directly to the Guix project as anyone can send in patches for anything in the git repo, maybe one thing the Guix project can do is to recognize if someone has sent in patches for specific projects many times in the past, then that means the person has knowledge, interest, familiarity and expertise about this package and the reviewers can spend minimal time of his/her future patches for the same package(s).
Thus this creates kind of pseudo package maintainer in Guix, reducing workload of reviewers and speeding up package update. Guix can have a text file in the Guix repo recording say someone who is "responsible" or is a "pseudo packager" for specific packages, which the committers can refer to to allow quick processing of patches. This does not mean the person responsible for certain package has git commit access but just to allow a quick path for patch processing by the commiters of certain patches from the familiar person. Of course others can still send in patches for these packages already with pseudo packagers.
