The demands on patches are high and I have stopped submitting myself even though I work on Guix all the time. Best is to have your own tree. Tying versions to Guix is trivial - that is the point of Guix, rather ;). Making emacs-guix a Guix package is a fine alternative. If someone finds it that important to host on main he/she can still do that, but I have trouble seeing the need. Pj.
