Cool!

Thanks for your interest.

If you can become familiar with the details, I can co-mentor some—which
means we’d need to find a co-mentor.  :-)

It is not clear for me what would be the path to tackle this.

Well, from my point of view, a good way for diving into is by
investigating #51726 [1] #48540 [2] and probably more in the bug
tracker.

Ricardo, maybe you would have some suggestions. :-)


Feel free to ask more questions in guix-devel or guix-science or
gwl-devel mailing lists or IRC libera.chat #guix or #guix-hpc.

Cheers,
