Hi, I wonder if package patch submitter can in any way help to speed
up the review of such patches?   I sent some patches some of which
received quick feedback but some seem to be waiting for review for
quiet some time.  I understand all these are done by volunteers.   I
hope package patches can be applied more quickly to make Guix more "up
to date" as a GNU/Linux distribution.  Just curious if there is any
guideline to make package addition or update patches easier for the
reviewers to process, thus speeding up submission application.  Thanks

Hi Andy,

I'll take a look at your open patches now and either push them or send
feedback. I'll also try to give feedback about easing the review
process.
