Hi Cayetano, Vagrant, Steve, Gabriel, Andreas, and others following this thread,
Thank you for your inputs and encouragements, and I am sorry for shuffling everyone's message for the ease of my response d-; On 2026-02-06 at 09:00+00:00, Steve George wrote: > On 2026-02-05 at 13:44-08:00, Vagrant Cascadian wrote: > > On 2026-02-05 at 20:16+01:00, Cayetano Santos wrote: > > > Just remember that a single person team has little utility > > > > While it is not the ideal, as a member of at least two one-person > > teams... even a single-person team has the immediate benefit of getting > > notified when pull requests are submitted in that particular area of > > interest... and to be able to look for issues and pull requests tagged > > with that team... > > Agreed on the notifications being useful.

Since the Codeberg migration, there's also https://codeberg.org/pulls?type=review_requested which is awesome IMHO.

Thanks, and here they are: - Build tools: https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/pulls/6171 - Quality assurance modules: https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/pulls/6166 - Version control: https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/pulls/6165 The VCS one is to start with at least two members, and QA one has a committer interested too!

I did not think of authority (since I understand teams to be primiralily for peer reviewing), but avoiding duplicating responsibility. A couple teams being responsible for the same module is probably fine, but too many and each team will likely prioritize patch series with fewer review requests first.

I'm too in support of this "no-team" or summat tag. Best wishes, Phong P.s. Phong is my given name, which is currently the fashionable way to refer to people where I'm from. Calling people by their family name (e.g. Nguyễn) is mostly done for historical figures only.
