Hi Ludo,
Thank you for taking the time to draft this new policy.

Note that Email Self-Defense focuses on the use of Thunderbird + the
Enigmail plugin, both of which are missing from our collection of
packages. I don't have a better resource to suggest, though.

I like the proposal drafted so far. I agree with others that it is
important to say that the maintainers reserve the final say in whether
or not a contributor is granted push rights to the Guix repository, for
transparency.
LGTM :-)
