Perhaps cut after “interfaces” since the rest is more or less in the
description?

This looks like a project overview more than a package description from
the Guix user perspective.  Could you adjust it somewhat, focusing on
what it does or what it provides on GNU/Linux?

We usually don’t mention portability in descriptions since by definition
people reading it are using GNU.  Definitely avoid mentioning the
proprietary OSes and “Linux” for “GNU/Linux” please.  :-)

OK with changes along these lines and with a proper commit log!

Thank you,
Ludo’.
