Re: Preservation of Guix 2021-10-22

[indieterminacy]

Hi Simon,

Would it be remiss to cross reference contributors to these identified
scripts against Guix contributors (commits, ML messages)?

With that it may be possible to email them a templated message,
featuring:
* The current activity and reason for outreach
* The advantages of providing improvements
* A polite request for them (or interested parties) to assist (whenever)
possible
* A reference to documentation or cookbooks to provide further context
and approaches for resolving

WDYT?
