Maybe change this to something like "Manages the per-user Guix channels
specification"?

Neat!  Applied with the cosmetic changes below.

The downside with this approach is that it doesn’t let you have a
sophisticated ‘channels.scm’ file, for instance one that calls
‘channel-with-substitutes-available’ (info "(guix) Channels with
Substitutes").

All in all, I think that’s an acceptable limitation.  Someone willing to
write arbitrary code to ‘channels.scm’ can “roll their own” and extend
‘home-xdg-configuration-files-service-type’ similarly.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
