I meant, based on changed already merged. For instance, on the top of
my head, some changes that *I* consider requiring a RFC:
- new inputs style
- guix shell
- authentication
- GUIX_EXTENSIONS_PATH (not finished and not documented)
And it would be nice if we could come with a list of such changes. It
would help for finding patterns – if they are :-) – for examples,
numbers of people involved in the discussion, time between each reply,
structure of the cover letters, etc.

Yeah, for sure, several items need definitions. ;-)
- which kind of change requires a RFC?
- what is the process?
- how to decide? Accept or reject?
- who decide?
- etc.
