I noticed that the PyPi updater mistakes the package for the ‘av’[1]
package and says that it can updated to version 8.0.3.

  /home/yoctocell/src/guix/gnu/packages/web-browsers.scm:911:13: av-98@1.0.1: can be upgraded to 8.0.3

That’s probably something that should be fixed with the PyPi importer,
though.

No need for a newline.  :-)

The descrption should consist of one or more complete sentences,  see
“16.4.4 Synopses and Descriptions” in the manual for more details.  I
suggest (based on the README):

  AV-98 is an experimental client for the Gemini protocol.  Features
  include

  @itemize
  @item TOFU or CA server certificate validation;
  @item Extensive client certificate support if an openssl binary is available;
  @item Ability to specify external handler programs for different MIME types;
  @item Gopher proxy support;
  @item Advanced navigation tools like tour and mark (as per VF-1);
  @item Bookmarks;
  @item IPv6 support;
  @item Support for any character encoding recognised by Python.
  @end itemize

Otherwise, builds fine and LGTM!
