Yeah, I'm glad you're working on this.

Sure, I think it's fine. HACKING says:

For patches that just add a new package, and a simple one, it’s OK to
commit [without going through the code review process], if you’re
confident (which means you successfully built it in a chroot setup, and
have done a reasonable copyright and license auditing.)  Likewise for
package upgrades, except upgrades that trigger a lot of rebuilds (for
example, upgrading GnuTLS or GLib.)  We have a mailing list for commit
notifications (guix-commits@gnu.org), so people can notice.  Before
pushing your changes, make sure to run ‘git pull --rebase’.
