Thank you. Some comments follow.

If you create a new file (is in necessary?), you need to also register
it in local.mk file.

There's a mismatch between the name of the variable and the package.

Could you move origin below source?

You can hard-code "name" above.

Hash string should go on the same line as base32.

Could you explain in a comment why "release" is needed?

Could you sort inputs alphabetically? Also could you use new inputs
style:

  (inputs
   (list enchant `(,gtk+ "bin") gtkmm ...))

Ditto:

  (native-inputs
   (list pkg-config))

Could you send an updated patch?
