I agree, you are right about this.

I must admit that while I'm in favor of this GCD I'm not familiar 
with
the PR workflow *at the scale of Guix*.

We will need tools in support of a reviewer's workflow.  I tend to
easily get lost, whether that's on issues.guix.gnu.org and mailing 
list
discussions, or on forges with many issues.  In the documentation 
of API
endpoints for codeberg.org I have not seen anything that roughly 
equates
to "needs my attention".

It seems that on Codeberg the primary means of keeping track of 
things
is through notifications.  I fear I might still end up dropping 
the ball
when a PR requires my attention if it gets buried in countless
notifications -- especially if I have to keep them unread to ever 
have a
chance of finding them again.  Obviously, a fix here would be to 
adjust
my behaviour and not let notifications pile up, but this has no 
chance
of ever happening.  (In completely unrelated news: I've got 17532 
unread
Guix emails.)
