I have not received any response; neither to the bug report, nor to the
email I sent.  I have removed cufflinks from Guix with commit 7bf59f702.

Thanks again for the report!

So… I’ll try to see if I can adapt the GPL code from r-locfit in a fork
of Cufflinks at some point.

I noticed that there's a package for cufflinks, but it has a non-free
component.  It isn't packaged for Debian or Fedora because of that.  See
<https://github.com/cole-trapnell-lab/cufflinks/issues/16>.
