Okay, if gnome-sudoku has to stay in sync with GNOME, then I'd say it
makes some sense to put it in gnome.scm. Is there some GNOME package
that sets the version for the rest of our GNOME ecosystem? Should we be
pulling the version from some other package?

I still think the best place is games.scm with the other games.

CC-ing our GNOME expert, 宋文武, for some advice.

I don't think qqwing belongs in gnome.scm. The source code doesn't
mention GNOME in any substantive way and, as far as I can tell, it's not
tied to GNOME. Am I wrong? If not, I think that games.scm (or possibly
game-development.scm) are appropriate.

If you thought about it and couldn't come up with anything, then I guess
there's nothing else to add :)
