The Guix manual[1] allows patches under pseudonymous:
Contributors are not required to use their legal name in patches
and on-line communication; they can use any name or pseudonym of
their choice.
[1]https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/en/html_node/Contributing.html
For Guix packages that contain patches to other upstream projects we
would need to contact the upstream project to best see how to handle
that.
As for the documentation, part of it is most likely to stay specific
to GNU Boot, but other parts could be merged into Guix (which was
already checked), GRUB or other projects to simplify maintenance.
As for the GNU Boot build system, it's most likely specific to GNU
Boot or likely to be moved into Guix packages at some point. The only
problematic cases that can remain are the move of the build logic
inside upstream project or for transforming hacks into autotools
contributions.
But in any case when contributions that could be merged in projects
that weren't checked are made, the GNU Boot maintainers and/or
followers of the GNU Boot patches mailing list could simply mention
the issue and look up the upstream policy with regard to pseudonymous
contributions, and if that doesn't work out, work with upstream
projects to find a solution.

GNU Boot can be installed on some I945 ThinkPads without disassembling
them. To do that it requires both a patched flashrom and bucts.
This build them and also integrate Guix in GNU Boot as a dependency to
build them.
This will enable us to later on ship these utilities and then update
the installation instructions to use them somehow.
It also makes sure that we have proper authorship of the patch used
for flashrom and also unify the two flashrom patches not to require
two different flashrom binaries.

The build documentation (site/docs/build/index.md) references some
commands, so documenting them in the a 'make help' command as well can
help improve the contributors efficiency by not having to re-read the
documentation every time we are looking for a command.
In addition this can help separate well known commands from other less
documented ones that are internal to GNU Boot and that can more easily
change.
This is also important as it allows, if the need arrise, to have the
the autotools system play a more important role than merely a
"compatibility system" for people used to type "make" as the build
instructions currently state.

For some reason the regex being removed ends up ignoring .scm files:
if we run git add to some files in ./resources/guix/*/*.scm, we end up
with:
The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
[...]
hint: Use -f if you really want to add them.
hint: Turn this message off by running
hint: "git config advice.addIgnoredFile false"
but if we remove '*.s[a-w]?' from .gitignore, git add works fine
without any warning.
As this gitignore entry was added by the very first commit of this
repository (commit 89517ed6b9
"libreboot!"), we don't really know why it was added (what type of
files it's supposed to match again).
But given that we plan to use .scm files extensively, it's probably
better to remove that ignore rule and find out later the reason why it
was added in the first place, and adjust the rules accordingly, than
risking to forget some important scheme files.

Without this fix, running shellcheck -x on
resources/scripts/misc/guix.sh returns many errors.
For each guix version declaration we have something like that:
In resources/scripts/misc/guix.sh line 21:
guix_v0_0="6365068393254e1131ab80eb0d68a759e7fd2256"
^-------^ SC2034 (warning): guix_v0_0 appears unused.
Verify use (or export if used externally).
and here the variables are actually used in this code:
guix_version_commit()
{
version="$1"
eval echo "$(echo \$guix_"${version}" | sed 's#\.#_#g')"
}
so we workaround by disabling that test for each version declaration.
Then shellcheck cannot find "$GUIX_PROFILE"/etc/profile:
In resources/scripts/misc/guix.sh line 91:
. "$GUIX_PROFILE"/etc/profile
^-------------------------^ SC1091 (info):
Not following: ./etc/profile: openBinaryFile:
does not exist (No such file or directory)
so we disabled that test for this line.
After that we have many issues with quoting like this one:
In resources/scripts/misc/guix.sh line 104:
eval echo $(echo \$guix_"${version}" | sed 's#\.#_#g')
^-- SC2046 (warning):
Quote this to prevent word splitting.
or this one:
In resources/scripts/misc/guix.sh line 233:
major="$(echo ${version} | awk -F . '{print $1}')"
^--------^ SC2086 (info):
Double quote to prevent globbing and word splitting.
these were fixed.
We also improved a test by using grep -q:
In resources/scripts/misc/guix.sh line 272:
elif [ -n "$(echo ${revision} | grep '\.')" ] ; then
^-- SC2143 (style):
Use grep -q instead of comparing output with [ -n .. ]
And finally in guix_version_commit a sed was avoided by using bash
replacement, and when that was not possible (in guix_next_version),
the shellcheck test for that was disabled.

In the commit d68b4f8930 ("Makefile: Add

is mentionned in the commit to the Makefile.
So now the Makefile targets are actually broken:
$ make release
echo 'Makefile: running release target' >> make-1705163885.log

Since 'SHELL := bash' also works on PureOS 10 and Trisquel 10, I'll
use that instead as it is more simple.
The path of bash is not hardcoded to respect users decisions to use
the bash they want, and also to work better with non-FHS
distributions.

We had both issues described in the text during the RC2:
- Both maintainers agreed to merge a translation under a pseudonym but
one of the maintainers also asked to GNU permission to do that. Due
to a miscommunication between the maintainers it was pushed before
getting feedback from the GNU project.
- Both maintainers agreed to the release commit but due to a
misunderstanding / miscommunication it was pushed too early while
some other commits that still need to be made were supposed to go in
before that announcement commit in order to tag that announcement.
In both cases a process like the one mentioned in the text would
probably avoid to push things too early, especially because the author
of the patch set new about these issues and had them in mind all the
time, and since an additional Ack from that person would still be
needed before pushing, it would avoided this issue.

The file adding the news is named gnuboot-december-2023.md instead of
gnuboot-0.1-rc1.md as the later is understood as a translation in the
'1-rc1' lang. Renaming the file to gnuboot-0.1-rc1.en.md instead makes
untitled detect the lang correctly but then it assumes this is a
translation and adds a broken link for "English" on the new page.
For now the older Libreboot news were kept as this shows the history
of the project and since GNU Boot is a continuation of the Libreboot
project it makes sense to also keep them.
The CSS also needed to be separated from the template because
otherwise the generated news page would be incomplete and miss all
what comes before the CSS like '<!DOCTYPE html>' for instance.
Finally x-reviewed was changed into x-unreviewed because we can't set
x-reviewed for the news, so the only way to remove the banner for the
individual news is to default to reviewed (and to mark all unreviewed
files as such).

The 'make release' or './build release all' commands build releases of
GNU Boot that consist of installable images and the upstream source
code used to build them.
The u-boot-libre package is instead meant to follow different release
schedules as it releases deblobbed versions of various u-boot releases
for reuse by distributions like Parabola.
Before the commit 857afa42a8 ("Switch to

u-boot-libre separately but after it it ended up being run
automatically as part of 'make release' or ./build release all.
Renaming this script ensure that it's not run during regular releases.
