Subject: [bug#35922] [PATCH] gnu: add terminator

Hi, this is a popular program used by many people and in repos of Fedora
and Ubuntu.  2017 was only 2 years ago, so "not maintained" for two years
seems not unusual in the Free Software world.   In any case, that would not
prevent other python2 programs from being in Guix or other GNU/Linux
distributions.   Migration to Python 3 would be issue for the upstream or
for anyone taking over maintenance, common for widely used programs if the
needs rises.
