Uh, I think I’m the guilty party, my sincere apologies!

I have to admit I have a hard time keeping up.  I review tons of
patches, but I also like to do stuff by myself, which means I tend to
select “easy” patches.

As a project, the ratio of available reviewer time to incoming patches
remains chronically small.  I feel like there are more people reviewing
and pushing patches these days, but there’s also more patches coming
in—a good problem to have, but certainly also a source of frustration.

The good news is that I’ve now reviewed
<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/65002> and it looks almost ready to me.  So
perhaps you’ll have to ping me or some other committer one last time,
but I encourage you to not give up, not so close to the finish line.

Cheers,
Ludo’.
