I'm pretty sure many things could be documented.  Specifically the rules
about the commit line formatting and the format of messages adding new
packages or upgrading packages have been explained enough times that it
is wasting your time not to put them in a document :)  Probably they
should be put into some automatic linter as well.

I would offer to do this, but I think Guix's commit log standards are
unnecessarily verbose so I am not the best one to do this :)

Sure!  Thank you Mark :)
