I don't think that would help. The challenge is that bug-fixing and
patch review isn't really where the maintainers' effort is right now.
Guix and Guile 3 are the major efforts. We don't need to make it
easier to submit patches. We need to make it easier to incorporate
patches.
Some projects (like Pixman) have a rule that if a patch receives no
opposition after a few weeks and a couple of pings, you are free to
push it. I wonder if that would work here? Or would it be too
chaotic?
My two cents,
