You can send an email to bug-guix@gnu.org saying that package xxx is out of date. The bugtracker is a nice tool because one can report things with just an email. Plus, it makes it easy to keep track of things to do. You can report things as 'wishlist' too, they don't even have to be bugs. And now we have a nice web interface to it: https://issues.guix.info/. :-) Hope it helps!
