It's an opinion. I wish that whoever said that would have said it in a
more friendly way. We try to avoid communicating so harshly within Guix
and I hope they learn to do that.

I like when it shares links to bug tickets and commits. But sometimes,
it echoes links that have already been sent, even in direct response to
the links. For some of us, it's obvious where to find that info, but
others may have no idea. I wonder if it could learn a more sophisticated
way to decide when to share the links or not, and maybe to condense the
information a bit.
