We have enough funds on RDE's opencollective, so we can setup a CI and substitute server and maybe some other infrastructure/project-related services in foreseable future.
Thank you very much everyone for help and support! <3
Let me know what else you miss.

@janneke RDE and Guix Home was a one thing at the beginning. After that we upstreamed Guix Home to Guix and it was not the smoothest transition I would say. On of the frustrations was fetching the rationale behind record-based configurations and why it's not a "free-style" data structures based configs: https://github.com/abcdw/notes/blob/fce3dc1/notes/20231228152715-alists_and_records_in_guix_services.org#L6
Also a few related changes was committed without reaching consensus on the topic, which lead to some breakage of RDE and forced us to fork a few home services.
@lechner @janneke After that the decision to maintain our own free-style set of home services was made (which are not upstreamable due to concerns and technical difficulties above):

features mechanism and most of RDE functionality are based on this desicion and thus not transferable to guix proper.
There is also a part about governance model, different technical background of primary contributors and thus different views on design and implementation.
