Then there are multiple web sites requiring registration that I need to keep track of. (*) Ok, GitHub has e-mail notifications. But I can't directly reply to them, I need to go to the web interface. At least, that was the case N years ago. I like being able to perform all asynchronuous communication via e-mail, instead of via a dozen platforms.

Guix' bug tracking software is ‘GNU Bug Tracker’. You could ask it on that project's mailing lists. Now I see you did that already: . I don't have anything else to say on this topic; I'm not sending further replies. Greetings, Maxime.
