postgresql client packaging recipe

Hi,
Postgresql-client is not available in the main repository (server is!). I
assumed it was due to the complicated license:
https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/p/postgresql-13/postgresql-13_13.4-0+deb11u1_copyright

So I wrote a packaging recipe (below) and submitted to nonfree.  Was told
it might be that no one has gotten around to packaging for main yet.  I see
the documentation for submitting patches, but not recipe files. Is there a
protocol for submitting packaging recipes?

guix build succeeds:

...[many successes]...

/gnu/store/w9gswswv5qxc84nyq5n7zkicygsb0rrq-postgresql-client-13.4

Tested and functional on Debian.

Thanks
Mortimer
