Hello,

Thank you!

Can you unbundle whatever is pulled in submodules and avoid using
#:recursive?

> +              (commit "v2023.12.rc0"))) ;; make a final release this year

Nitpick: end of line comments use a single semicolon.

It is also not a good idea to introduce a mismatch between version and
commit. It this situation, you can either use "2023.12.rc0" for version
and (string-append "v" version) for commit, or use a raw commit hash,
bound to `commit' and bind "1" to `revision'. Then, version becomes
(git-version "2023.12" revision commit) and commit is set to… commit.

Same remark as above about semicolon.

Please order inputs alphabetically.

Nitpick: @code{survive_link} protocol.

Would you want to send an updated patch?
