if you allow hijacking the above into the wiki discussion:

this is a good example where a wiki page (central, easily editable, capturing 
the current state) would tremendously help this discussion. who, where, why, 
what, etc...

such a wiki doesn't need to be completely open for self-registration, which is 
the source of most issues. kinda like the commit bit, but with more relaxed 
requirements. maybe invite-only, or a somewhat hidden static secret could be 
used for gatekeeping the registration.

it's an illusion that everything is captured by the mailing list archive when 
finding stuff is inefficient in a discussion log. also, the wiki displays the 
current state, not the entire bumpy road getting there.

i know about https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Guix but the search engines 
don't really. and i don't know how others feel about it, but i subconsciously 
don't take it seriously because the search box is not focused on guix, and in 
this form it feels like just an aftertought, not a guix wiki.
