Hi,
Léo Le Bouter via Bug reports for GNU Guix <bug-guix@gnu.org> skribis:

It’s (almost) useless to provide a graft of ‘patch’ because patch is
usually a build-time only dependency. (Maybe we can tell it’s not
vulnerable to the issues at hand because in that context it’s always
given controlled input: the package patches.)
What could be useful is to provide a second version of patch so that
people running ‘guix install patch’ or similar get the newer version.
HTH,
Ludo’.
