True ^_^
In the past I was able to send the email with --subject-prefix='PATCH
core-updates' in cases like this, but that branch is now gone with
seemingly no direct replacement. When I am aware about the excessive
number of dependents, what branch should I mark as target for the patch
in question? The documentation does not seem to provide a guidance on
this (or I cannot find it).

The branch has gone quite some time ago; so in the end adding "core-updates"
to the subject line was more of a social signal to committers not to push
the commit to master.

Unfortunately this is a hole in our procedures; it depends on someone
picking it up in the context of larger changes.

I see, thank you for the information. For the time being I will stop
sending patches for packages with lot of dependents, to save you some
time. ^_^ It will save me time as well, -P1 takes a while on ngtcp2.

Well, if you add that you have built all the -P1 already, that would be
a useful information, and maybe enough to merge a package with moderately
many dependents.
For this package, it turns out there is also a pull request on codeberg:
https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/pulls/1920
so I will close it here.
