Hi Guix!

I've been trying to get an improvement to Lua search paths merged[1], so
our Lua packages can function properly in profiles. This will cause
almost 1000 rebuilds, so it can't go straight to master.

Given Lua doesn't have a team set up to manage this, I've raised a PR to
make a Lua team and add myself to it[2]. Unfortunately this doesn't mean
much, because I'm not a Guix committer.

Would any committers like to join me on the Lua team?

The immediate need is to set up a lua-team branch and build the
search-paths changes, but it might be worth adding some other changes as
well. Given we're rebuilding everything that depends on Lua anyway, I
would like to bump the default lua version to 5.4 (or maybe even a
newly-packaged 5.5.0).

Carlo
