To the best of my knowledge, no any server-side support is required for that.
Git is intentionally designed to avoid any reliance on servers as much as
possible.

I would like to double that question with no any particular connection to Guile.
I fully understand why many developers generally refuse to review freeform pull
requests and ask to send patches via their favourite integrated platform (such
as gitlab or github) — anyone can evaluate extra features they provide.
Yet, I fail to get why so many teams insist that patches must be submitted as
per git-format-patch.
Evidently, this is because they habitually rely on some tooling, that expects
patchsets in that format. But what is that tooling?
The only thing the I am aware of is git-am, which provides... nothing (?) over
a simple pull request.
There must be some bits of hidden knowledge, passed from generation to
generation of maintainers of venerable bazaar-style projects. ;-)
So, I would be glad if Guile / Guix / etc patch-reviewers shared some details
about their workflow.
