If you want to package elasticsearch, know it's not in the Guix as we
speak, and see it as the first item when browsing
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/search?query=elasticsearch, I have some hope
that someone could find it. Not to mention search engines, which are
also good at this.
That said, I get your point. Perhaps a 'rejected' user tag would be
useful? I doubt most users would know to use them though... but maybe
if it's exposed via Mumi it could be helpful.
