What are you looking to get from this change?

Personally, I think being able to assume that patches sent to
guix-patches are for guix is helpful, e.g. some of the automated tooling
depends on this assumption.

i'm confused, so let's sync some assumptions:

are you/we happy that shepherd patches end up on guix-devel?

because i've just sent several shepherd patches to guix-devel, and when i thought about it, i wouldn't be happy to receive a storm of non-guix patches on guix-devel. hence my patch to the manual.

i don't know enough about the infrastructure, and i don't have a strong opinion about where to send this. it just felt wrong to send it to guix-devel, and then guix-patches sounded at least a little better. that's all. i'm open for other suggestions, including that the status quo is fine.

This energy can lead to chronic tension, headaches, aches and pains and many other physical problems. It also keeps the body in a heightened state of stress and makes people more vulnerable to anxiety, panic attacks, illness & injury.”

Personally, I'm happy for shepherd patches to go to guix-devel.

I don't think anyone has raised an issue with this, but if they did, I'd
suggest setting up a dedicated list for the shepherd and using that.

Maybe if the patches are for a bug, then they could be sent to the
Debbugs bug instead.
