For instance, let have some number over the last year and half:

        File:  gnu/packages/bioconductor.scm
           1103 Ricardo Wurmus
             24 Roel Janssen
              7 Tobias Geerinckx-Rice

        File:  gnu/packages/bioinformatics.scm
            450 Ricardo Wurmus
             58 Efraim Flashner
             28 Roel Janssen

        File:  gnu/packages/cran.scm
           1687 Ricardo Wurmus
             35 Lars-Dominik Braun
             34 Roel Janssen

Well, it means Ricardo you are the one who pushes modifications of these
files.  Therefore, it could be nice to automatically keep you in touch
to your convenience (instead of X-Debbugs-CC or annoy you via IRC ;-)).

For instance with a feed (Atom or RSS).  Because these days, the traffic
of guix-patches is more or less high so I am not convinced all
committers subscribe. :-)

I mean, such feed would help “specialized” reviewers to filter the
volume and would probably be more incentive.  (Well, for sure a good
email client with the right filter is already doing the same. :-))
