I tried this with my user profile and the script hit the Software heritage limit after reporting the status of 33 packages (most of which are not archived). So, for the rest of the packages, you are asked to try again later (I have 95 packages in my profile).

Is "guix lint -c archival $pkg" supposed to poke Software Heritage to archive the $pkg if it is not archived yet? I ask because I ran the script later and I got the same output from the first run, i.e., packages reported to be missing from Software Heritage were still reported as such, instead of being planned for archive.

Also, I got a backtrace when checking icecat:
