Hello Raghav,

Thanks for this patch. When running 'guix lint' on this patch, I have
the following warnings:

You should use "git-fetch" method for github repositories (see linter
warning above).

Why is it not required?

No camel case notation.

"Ultimate" is maybe exaggerated! Also you could elaborate a bit on the
functionalities of this tool.

Thanks,
