[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Note: No need for [BUG] prefixes -- they are prefixed automatically by 
bug#NNNNN and the bug tracker is either for bugs or patches, and the 
latter has the [PATCH ...] convention. No harm though.

'chmod' is not mentioned anywhere in (guix scripts style), so I'd think 
it's just an oversight. The authority on the matter would be Ludovic 
Courtès <ludo <at> gnu.org>

Disclaimer: I'm the one that wrote that feedback. Let's not double-count 
my non-existent 'votes'.

Greetings,
Maxime
