This happens with a package that’s not in the ‘guix’ channel (see
above).  I can’t find the definition of that package though, so I can’t
really help.

If you can reproduce it with a package that’s in Guix, or if you can
point me to the source, we might be able to better understand.

The code at guix/gnu-maintenance.scm:188:20 checks a URI, so my guess is
that the source of that package is not a valid URI, and thus
‘string->uri’ returns #false.
