People have started receiving news on their pull requests and seemed mostly pleased by the discussion with the bot. :-)
No longer being in the dark makes a big difference for reviewers and contributors!
You can read about the setup here:

Picture me running a VM in a VM as I was testing the integration of the whole thing. :-)
The beauty of declarative OS configuration.
The service is still quite limited though, due to scarce resources on the infra but also due to limitations in #Cuirass, the software behind this.
We actually have something better: https://qa.guix.gnu.org working hand in hand with the Data Service at https://data.qa.guix.gnu.org.
Sadly, qa.guix is tailored to the email workflow we’ve been using until May and now needs to be adjusted to work with Forgejo/Codeberg.
