I don't see a need in the infrastructure: there is guix-devel ML and
there are only few people who is doing the most of work: you, Ludovic,
Mark, Eric, Nikita, John, Cyril, David. So a majority of you should
decide (IMO).

My only rule is: the upstream name shouldn't always be blindly taken as a
package name; if Guix developers think there is a more appropriate name,
then use it.
