Not so much compared to Guix. ;-)
We have a Debbugs game (about Guix), let have more fun and open it to
Guile!
https://lite.framacalc.org/debbugs-mrtglssuf5-ajj9
The rules: You define your own rules! :-)
For instance, my rule: I cross a day when I’ve closed at least one Guix
Debbugs ticket and my target is to do triage of 10 tickets per day (the
days where I’m in front of my keyboard).
Pick anything that motivates you! The aim is to sanitize the trackers.

Because I have a monk way of life, I’ll try to join you Olivier!
Hey, effort over the past months is already visible. Yeah!

Look, we already see the decrease: https://debbugs.gnu.org/rrd/guile_5y.png

Hey Guix contributor: Before planning to work on a new fancy thing or a
package update, be kind and contribute first to the ticket triage!
Guix contributor, if you feel frustrated by the review process about
what you crafted with love, bah the best for feeling the other side: Try
to make progress on the ticket triage!
Cheers,
simon
