Well, that is a conflict between guix policies/practices and debbugs. Debbugs handles sending multiple patches in a single email just fine, which can be done on the initial submission. That has downsides with regards to threading, but given all the current limitations, I wonder if the downsides of having to wait for the initial bug number to land are worth the cost of having to implement a user-interface tool (mumi CLI) to workaround it. That said, the tool already exists... but not everyone is aware of it or for whatever reason is not necesarily using it. Are there other downsides to allowing a multiple patches in a single email? Ideally the technology would fit whatever practicies guix would like to implement... but then we have what we have right now. live well, vagrant
