I have added the "help" tag because:

1. Due to time and other constraints (specially related to job-seeking)
   I no longer have as much time to work on this;

2. I don't know how to fix the issues, specially those related with
   customizations on configure/build flags ([1]) and with patches ([2]);

3. Some patches made by GNU Ring have been sent by me to some of their
   upstream projects but these only accept patches that come from the
   patch authors ([3]).

   An attempt was made to contact the patch authors but so far I got no
   replies ([2]) (perhaps because the authors don't seem to use their
   own issue tracker anymore?);

4. The lack of news and of native support for GnuTLS in pjproject/PJSIP
   ([4]) also makes things harder (because GNU Ring would have to
   maintain their patch to do so);

5. There's no confirmation that the Guix recipes can keep using these
   patches and configure/build flag customizations.
