I am indeed using emacs and magit, so I'll start doing this.

As an aside, I don't know how much of this is obvious to other folks
(i.e. maybe folks who contribute to GNU projects more often), but I feel
like I've been discovering things like this which aren't in the Guix
manual. Did I just miss this stuff (very possible!), or are we missing
some instruction and perhaps links to GNU standards?
