I guess it's too much to expect to use the local mailinglist archive
or the one on gnu.org.
This is the only relevant message I find:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2017-02/msg00760.html

I have no intention to spend more time with this package, if anyone
feels like picking it up for improvement, it's here. Locally I'm going
to delete it.
