Despite my packaging of a bunch of guile packages in the last couple
years, it is mostly in order to package "guix" for Debian (RFP/ITP
#850644).  I'm not particularly savvy with scheme... although more
clarity and help in how to properly package scheme would be great!

So I'd definitely be open to signing up for such a mailing list, though
if it turned into a firehose of success, I might have a hard time
keeping up. :)
