Hi Chris,

Maybe write this as

         (replace 'check
           (lambda* (#:key tests? #:allow-other-keys)
             (when tests?
               (setenv "DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE" "patchwork.settings.dev")
               (invoke
                "python" "-Wonce" "./manage.py" "test" "--noinput"))
             #t))

> +         (replace 'install
> +           (lambda* (#:key inputs outputs #:allow-other-keys)
> +             (let ((out (assoc-ref outputs "out"))) […]

This phase might be less verbose if you let-bound the result of
(site-packages inputs outputs) at the beginning.  It would also be good
if there were more comments about what’s going on.  It’s not all obvious
(e.g. why “lib” is copied to “docs”).

Use “display” instead of “simple-format #t”?

Here also consider simplifying with let.

> +               (mkdir-p (string-append out "/bin"))
> +               (call-with-output-file (string-append out "/bin/patchwork-admin")
> +                 (lambda (port)
> +                   (display "#!/usr/bin/env python3

Should this really say “#!/usr/bin/env python3”?
