Sean seems to be maintaining it directly in the NonGNU ELPA repo:
<https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/nongnu.git/?h=elpa/ws-butler>

I took a look at other packages from NonGNU ELPA in emacs-xyz and they
all seem to use the generated tarballs, so I followed suit here. I think
using the ELPA tarball means ‘guix refresh’ will work, which seems
noteworthy. I know upstream Git repos are preferable to MELPA, but I
think deploying to ELPA and NonGNU ELPA is more intentional on the
upstream maintainer’s part (focused on tagged releases).

> Everything else looks good to me.

Good to hear, thanks for reviewing!
