AFAICT, the standard spelling of JavaScript is JavaScript,
and the spelling of Java is Java, not java.

The author information is not important for people searching for
packages (using "guix search" or the like) satisfying their criteria.

The last sentence almost implies that rhino has been certified for
compliance or something.  Instead, I would write something like

‘Rhino implements ECMAScript, also known as JavaScript, as specified
in  the fifth edition of ECMA-262.’
