I would not recommend that or adding also the option -N.  Else, the
development experience can be annoying.

For instance, “make check” will probably fail because some substitutes
are missing (see #67532 [1], e.g., tests/derivations.scm).

Moreover, one needs to go out the shell for submitting with “git
send-email” but then git:send-email is not necessary available in PATH.
