I belatedly realized you could also use 'wrap-program', which is
probably less error-prone.  For example (untested, and not very pretty):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(let ((out (assoc-ref outputs "out"))
      (paths (map
              (lambda (input)
                (string-append (assoc-ref inputs input) "/bin"))
              '("coreutils" "curl" "findutils"
                "git-minimal" "grep" "jq" "sed")))
  (for-each
    (lambda (program)
      (wrap-program
       (string-append out "/" program)
       `("PATH" prefix ,paths)))
    '("bin/git-issue" "lib/git-issue/import-export.sh"))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thinking about it, I'm not sure if the bash autocompletion script
("etc/bash_completion.d/git-issue") should be wrapped as well.

Hope that helps,
