I think whoever among you is available to work on it these days could
take the lead and prepare a final version of the patches.  It looks like
it’s approaching a first “committable” version (perhaps just missing an
addition to doc/guix.texi and test cases like we have ‘tests/cpan.scm’ &
co.)

For attribution, I’d keep Katherine as the commit author and add a
‘Co-authored-by’ line for François and for Helio (that’s how we usually
handle that given that Git assumes each commit has a single author).

When that first version is committed, you can all submit patches for
improvements.  For now, the focus should be on getting the first version
in.  :-)

My 2¢,
Ludo’.
