Sorry, my reply was a bit too harsh. Here's another try:

I don't have any ability to predict the taste of people.
If we decline certain software entry into Guix, we should make it
clear.. case by case? standards?
Fyi I'm using this on github and other websites that make use of
the activity graph.

We do have software in our repository that I consider trash, so
it's always subjective.
