Based on Andreas's observations in [1]:

  On the other hand, as soon as there is a patch series on issues, it also
  becomes more or less unreadable; after 5 versions of a 6-patch series,
  it becomes difficult to find the start of the current version and all
  comments in between.

It seems if we are basing our experimentations on only "trivial patches"
that are sent to <https://codeberg.org/civodul/guix>, we may not be
observing the instances where a forge-style review process actually
struggles; our conclusions may be flawed.
