Thanks for the correction.  I did mean personal channels, i.e. operated
(or abandoned) by a single person.

The guix-science collective demonstrates an alternative model, where
people of similar interest band together to provide a channel (or set of
channels) that is governed by different rules than Guix itself.  This
started out as a set of independently run channels (guix-bimsb,
guix-bimsb-nonfree, guix-science, guix-science-nonfree, guix-hpc, etc)
and is now a much more streamlined and cohesive shared effort.

I would advise against running a multitude of personal channels in favor
of collaborating with others on a much smaller number of channels -- and
ideally as a team in Guix itself.
