The expected commit message is slightly different.

  gnu: Add emacs-boon.

  * gnu/packages/emacs-xyz.scm (emacs-boon): New variable.

If you use Yasnippets, using "add <TAB>" in an empty commit message
generates it for you. See (info "(guix)The Perfect Setup").

As a rule of thumb, please do not append new packages at the end of the
file. It is more likely to generate merge conflicts.

Nitpick: could you move the string on the same line as `base32'?

Could you re-order inputs alphabetically?

Synopsis is not expected to end with a full stop. You may want to run
guix lint on the package.

Here you should write Texinfo markup: 

    @itemize
    @item it tries to...
    @item ...
    ...
    @end itemize

However, you way want to extract the description from the project's
GitHub front page instead of the main file.

Could you send an updated patch?
