Wonderful, nice to see the first contribution to julia packages :)

I found yesterday julihub, which might help in that regard a lot.  I'll
share here my notes (still no implementation), if I'm not missing
something obvious, this importer should be super easy.  Let me know what
you think about those:

1. refresh the package list (json)
   curl https://juliahub.com/app/packages/info
2. search the required package (.name field)
3. get info on the package (.metadata.docslink) / pkg.json
   eg. curl 'https://juliahub.com/docs/Convex/Sr0e5/0.14.5/pkg.json'
4. extract:
   - version
   - homepage
   - license
   - repository
   - description
   - direct dependencies (used in propagated-inputs field)
     store them into a list
   - indirect dependencies
     add them to the dependency list
   - binary (jll) dependencies
     tell the user those must be fixed
   - remove duplicates/packages already in guix
   - repeat 4 for each dependency


Thanks, Nicolò
