I'm not the best advisor in writing guix or shepherd services - I'm
currently working on my first 2 services myself - but for packages I
might be able to help.  And if I can't be of any help, others on the
guix-devel list will be.
If php would be your first package, I would suggest to first pick
something small, and afterwards apply what you learned to the bigger
package php.

Do you know how php7 and php-fpm are structured, its dependency trees?
If there are small packages in there it's useful to start there.

For 'doing a good job' we are trying to improve the guix manual. The
'contributing' chapter of it can be useful, and good examples I just
find in the git checkout(s) I have of guix, searching the relevant
folders for code.
I'd say if you haven't done so already, read the contributing manual and
ask questions about it.
