Yes, as Vivien wrote, Guix and many Guile users rely on this.

To me it’s okay for such a project to evolve slowly: the
security-sensitive and important part is GnuTLS itself, to which
Guile-GnuTLS merely provides bindings.

Unfortunately I cannot commit to doing this, but I agree that it’d be
nice to remove some of the burden from your shoulders.

(Speaking of which, I’d like to thank you Simon for all the work you’ve
been doing on Guile-GnuTLS, starting with the migration as a separate
project a while back.  Much appreciated!)
