Heh, good to know.

I think the repository layout has to mirror the social construct.
Having the bindings within GnuTLS was IMO a strength at a time when
there was cohesion.  Nowadays, it seems like it’s become a hindrance to
everyone involved so separating the bindings sounds like a reasonable
choice.

I’ll happily take your offer to create the initial repo if it still
holds.  :-)

The Guile-Gcrypt bindings have been maintained separately since their
inception and it’s worked rather well.

Thanks for your message!

Ludo’.
