There's a ‘v0.5.3’ tag so we can just use that:

 (version "0.5.3")
 (source
  (origin
    (method git-fetch)
    (uri (git-reference
          (url "https://…")
          ;; ‘Commit’ can really be any git identifier.
          (commit (string-append "v" version))))
    …))

and drop the (let …).

Nitpick: ;;-comments are sentences, so capitalise and end with a 
full stop.

However, IMO no comment is needed.  The top release at 
<https://github.com/tarsius/moody/releases> is 0.5.3, and I've 
grown to ignore the ‘latest release’ badge on GitHub unless there 
are reasons not to.  Too many upstreams forget to move it.

More nitpicks: ‘…the Emacs mode line’.

I don't know enough about other extensions to judge whether that's 
true, so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

In general: feel free to remove content-free marketing from 
upstream descriptions.

You can drop ‘then’ here.  I'd write ‘(in)active’ but that might 
be purely a matter of taste.

No need to send an updated patch; I'll make above changes and push 
if that's all right with you.  I might give others time to chime 
in if I'm feeling laz^Wgenerous.

Kind regards,

T G-R
