I think Christian mentioned some tasks which need to be done to make
this happen. Maybe you could get in touch with him about this and ask
how Guix and GNUnet can cooperate with this?

If only cuiras could produce tarballs (or run additional tasks which
lead to tarballs) for other systems to use, that would be a great
option.
