Are you interested in a new "patchsets" field for <channel> ?

[Nicolas Graves]

Hi Guix,

I've been trying to properly use the notion of patches above a channel,
and there are actually ways to make that work thanks to b4's
reproducible preprocessing of patch series / patchsets.  I know about
the wget help we know have on guix, but my point is broader here, I
wanted to have a tool for multiple channels, unregarding of the forge
they are using (sourcehut in particular works).

I seems quite doable to integrate this in main guix, but I'm not sure
guix developpers would be intersted in that, in which case I'll probably
put that in a new channel, with a <patched-source> record or something
like that.

I think this could be of great value to any user that has trouble getting
some essential things merged into a project, but that still values the
reproducibility of what he does, without having its own guix fork online
(environmental reasons). My current use-case can be found at
