     Judging from the description of the software, it seems like this could
     fit in gnu/packages/image.scm.
     Also, the linter says that this package vulnerable to
     CVE-2015-8979. Supposedly this* upstream patch fixes it. Could you see
     if that fix works for this package?

Unfortunately this patch doesn't go in.  It seems that as well as fixing this
vulnerability it also makes some unrelated changes.  Furthermore, it depends
on a whole lot of other patches which are not in this release.

Do we have a procedure on what to do in cases like this?
