Make a GNUnet package for GNU Guix is already done.  I recently
submitted patches for that.

What I want to see in the near future is for GNU Guix to propagate
updates using GNUnet.  I am willing to contribute to both projects in
this direction and hopefully can mentor someone or be mentored by someone.

Anyone interested in mentoring for GSoC 2014?

I’d be happy to see someone work on this project, and to mentor them!
This is something we discussed last year [0], although it didn’t go
anywhere at the time.

I think we should also propose other Guix-related projects.  Volunteers?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
