Thanks for the quick work on these patches! I saw the security notice
but glad I checked the bug tracker first, made things even easier :)

By the way, this isn't mentioned anywhere but I think we should make it
a policy to CC (or directly only, if the need arises) the guix-security
mailing list. I'll try to make that happen.

I added it to ed6ff0ec7b6fe65a3cd7d40b1f301f8def6fb8e3 (first commit)
with a note that the copyright line is a followup to those previous
commits as well. Hopefully that covers it!

And committed the second patch as
c79ffe25e98607d6803f960d5187e4098e1dc7c2.

I'm not too particular either for my own, but I do think it is good to
have it clear especially when committing changes for someone else.
Though it is in the git log, too.

Thanks again!
