Agreed, I was also trying to propose to just put the change on a team
branch, https://issues.guix.gnu.org/78308.

Hm, I am not a commiter, so I wouldn't know for sure, but from what I
picked up I thought that Savannah doesn't support forced-pushes, but
requires to remove and add a branch. I would assume that is unsupported
behavior.

Looking into it, I remembered podiki said they rebased mesa-updates:
https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/commits/branch/mesa-updates, last commit
is 6e9de, committed yesterday.

At savannah, last commit is 6c210:
https://cgit.git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?h=mesa-updates&id=6c210c6ac61499ebf2f3b3b4ca2607b50418d699,
almost month old.

I think this is caused by the rebase and by the bot being unable to
remove and push the branch.
