Too bad.  :(

What doesn't suits you?  IME Guix is a welcoming community, so I think
you can speak freely about things that you think are not working well
without expecting aggressive reaction.  So if you feel up to, please
don't make it "quick".

Taking a look at this thread, I have seen that you didn't get quick
answers.  If this is the main problem then pinging the thread regularly
(once a week for example) is not considered bad behavior.

if waiting for patch reviews blocks you in your workflow, this could
perhaps work better.  However if you choose this path please take some
time to follow Guix coding style (indentation + changelog style commits)
and notify the list when you achieve something.  It would help things to
get merged then.
