Let’s make it crystal clear: to me, you have full authority over the
guix.el code.

I’ve stated it several times, but maybe not clearly enough.  Apologies!

IOW, I think it’s fine if you commit directly changes to these parts of
the code.  Of course, I appreciate discussion when making non-trivial
feature changes—discussion not with me specifically, but with users.

It would be a great loss and a technical hindrance if guix.el was moved
out of Guix.  I don’t want that to happen, so let me know what the
ransom should be!  ;-)
