Thanks, this sounds like a great initiative, and I'll try to drop by. I'm 
in North America though, so I might be a little tardy (despite how much 
fun the 4am Guix Day was!).

On the topic of patch review, I was recently asked how I reviewed a 
proposed Go upgrade. I responded on the bug tracker [0]. I'd be interested 
in hearing critiques on the method I used. It might be nice to collect 
some recipes for reviewing different kinds of changes in the cookbook :)
