Appears to be a mirror for <https://github.com/XmacsLabs/mogan>.

Also, what kind of fork is this?  Is the idea to (eventually) merge the
fixes and features into upstream, or are they going separate ways, or
...?  Basically, why package the fork (which comes with some technical
and social cost) instead of working with upstream?

Not saying it's forbidden to package forks, but rather for me the
default option is to only package upstream.

This description sort-of suggests TeXmacs doesn't want everyone to
enjoy it and such, which I don't think is good for relations with
upstream.  Maybe like ‘(guix)Synopsis and Descriptions’ suggests, write
about some use cases and features (that were added by the fork)?

Greetings,
Maxime.
