Such "autogenerated" tarballs from GitLab and GitHub are prone to
getting re-created with different time stamps, breaking the checksum.
Can you adjust this package to use git-fetch instead of url-fetch?

Why are tests disabled?  Please leave a comment.

Indentation is off here.  If you are not using Emacs there is a script
that can help with indentation, see "Formatting Code" in the Guix manual.

The line break here is not necessary.

Please keep synopsis to single sentences.  The second sentence can be
removed IMO.

'guix lint gnome-shell-extension-topicons-redux' will warn that
sentences should be separated by two spaces.  Can you adjust accordingly?

> +    (license license:gpl2)))

Is the license really GPL2 only?  Unless the source code says explicitly
"GPL2 only", this should probably be "gpl2+", i.e. "GPL2 or any later
version".

Can you send an updated patch?

TIA!
