Yeah, can improve this myself, too, in general. :)

Though for GCDs, my specific ask is to not just refer to them by number
alone! (at least in the Subject) :)

If I had noticed the info-guix in my reply, I would have left that out!
apologies!

I do think it is useful to have the various phases of GCDs announceed on

reply-all!)...
