Nice.  Bonus point if you write a commit log that follows our
conventions—you can use ‘./etc/committer.scm’ to do that, but otherwise
we can do it on your behalf.

I suppose there’s no release tag?

Why delete these files?  I would keep them unless there’s a good reason
to do this.

Maybe “Produce URL-safe identifiers from arbitrary string”?  See
<https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Synopses-and-Descriptions.html>.

Likewise, could you make it a full sentence?

> +(define-public guile2.2-slugify
> +  (package
> +    (inherit guile-slugify)
> +    (name "guile2.2-slugify")

Unless there’s a need for Guile 2.2 support, I would omit it.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
