I've pushed your patch with some cosmetic adjustments as listed below:
- instead of appending the package to the end, I added it after
Google's Roboto fonts
- I changed the git-reference to be a two-liner
- I changed the hash to be a three-liner as otherwise there'd be
problems with smaller screens and you don't want those.
- I reworded the description a little as the old one included a typo
and to me personally didn't really get the actual idea behind the
package across.

I missed, that the commit message still didn't follow the format 100%.
I ought to have corrected it to:

gnu: Add font-borg-sans-mono.

* gnu/packages/fonts.scm (font-borg-sans-mono): New variable.

Anyway, you should now be able to pull and build the font :)

All the best,
Leo
