Hi Guixers,

What do you think of this proposal:

https://issues.guix.gnu.org/60630

Should a <channel> record have a description?

Here's a user story:

WhereIsEveryone is developing a webring as an API for discovering Guix channels 
and their contents.

With a growing* channels.scm file, IWBN to have a description about each 
channel as part of the data about that channel in the same way that users get a 
description about a package.

WDYT

See the toys README** for instructions on how to try this API and for more 
information on contributing. We could use all the hacking help we can get.
