Hi! There is some reading about it there:
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?include=subject%3Acertbot;package=guix
There is a proposal from Brice but it's not implemented yet, as far as I
know (https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=46961).
Please talk about it on the bug tracker rather than guix devel, this
allows for better tracking.
Thanks,
Clément
