Do you also believe that the Linux kernel has outgrown the "email-based
workflow"?  If not, what makes things different for Guix, in your
opinion?

Since a number of criticisms about the current approach have been about
the GNU fork of Debbugs.  I wonder if replacing that with something else
(say, Bugzilla) while still retaining the email-based workflow wouldn't
address most of the pain points.  Unless I'm mistaken, I believe the
Linux kernel takes a similar approach.
