I try to keep track of all possibilities :-)

OK, I'm attaching a patch.  Is “Co-authored-by …” enough or should you
be credited in some other way?

I think a simple heading may consist of just "name version" and other

‘guix-package-info-heading-params’ variable.  Do you think a description
should also be displayed in the heading by default?
