That's possible! I've stumbled on a few of those in the past 2 weeks.
It's good to know something's been done about it!

I think what I meant was "integration of GNUnet with guix publish".
Something which would allow anyone to effortlessly share what's been
built on their machine with the other Guix users. A zero config kind

I haven't researched much about GNUnet yet, but it seems it might be
fit for that purpose.
