In general a wip- branch is expected to be rebased and otherwise it's
expected to merge. IMO for a team branch it should be expected that the
team knows what's going on, but I can see how it would get confusing
quickly with multiple teams.

When the branch seems good then you send a patch to guix-patches with
The Magic Words™¹ which will cause qa.guix.gnu.org to start building the
branch, once the other team branches ahead of it are finished merging.
As far as when, whenever it seems like its ready, at whatever cadence
you're (as the team and/or the steward in charge of shepherding the
merge through is) happy with.

In general it should follow the same standard as other patches for Guix.
In practice people filter for their own interests and hope someone else
will take a look at any others.

Also can you pull in the patch from bug#67505? Thanks.

¹ I have to look up the phrasing each time.
