I'd also like to have a place for this information collected and shared.

Another option, not to imply it's a better one, but maybe worth 
considering, is the libreplanet guix wiki. I think that basically anyone 
can edit the page there, and it would be a smaller barrier of entry to 
contribute (for good and bad).

For guile development there's the information in help-guix with subject: 
"Configuring geiser for load paths of Guix environment", that would be 
useful to add.

For python: I have a setup with emacs, emacs-jedi and jupyter in a nice 
way, and I was leaning towards just sharing it on some git repo of mine, 
which would be a waste when it can be shared with a wider guix audience 
if we had a set place for it. Personally, I'd be more likely to get 
around to share it on the libreplanet wiki, than by sending a patch to 
the guix website. Maybe the website can point to the correct wiki 
subpage from the "software development" (in your field) page?
