Hi,

Pretty exciting moment! Your first contribution!

There's some documentation about contributing here:

https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Contributing.html

But contributing is "as simple as" creating a patch and sending it to 
guix-patches mailing list.
You can use `git format-patch` or `git send-mail` for that.

That's pretty much it, if you have specific questions please don't hesitate to 
ask.
The documentation is quite clear but it lacks some weird details you might miss 
in the first pass but we can try to help you here or in guix-devel mailing list 
too.

Hope this helps.

Best,
Ekaitz
