Is this a mistake?  Else I'd expect to see the 'Co-authored-by:' git
trailer at the bottom of the commit message.

Perhaps 'bindings' plural?  Perhaps drop 'wrapper', as it doesn't bring
much.  It generates C++ bindings to use GOboject introspection, right?

I think I'd word it like:

"C++ bindings generator for GObject introspection"

> +    (description "cppgir processes .gir files derived from GObject
> +introspection annotations into a set of C++ files defining suitable
> +namespaces, classes and other types that together form a C++ binding.")
> +    (license license:expat)))

Is 'guix lint' happy with the above?  I remember it used to complained
when the first character of the description wasn't capitalized.  You
could use @file{.gir} for extra decoration.

Otherwise, LGTM.
