You will want to send these questions to Geiser’s mailing list, where
the maintainer(s) will more likely see and respond to them.
According to the Geiser user’s manual, the mailing list can be read or
subscribe to at:
http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/geiser-users
If you installed Geiser via M-x list-packages, then you can confirm this
information by reading in Emacs the Info manual that Geiser installs:
M-: (info "(geiser) No hacker is an island")
