I don't see a problem providing both as "gnuemacs/guix-emacs" and
"gnuemacs/docker-emacs" or something like that. Or as tags of
"gnuemacs/emacs". I don't think they are equivalent, though, so the need
for a `docker build' solution is still there.

Sure. But there's more that Docker Hub offers: a global namespace; a
distributed download service; automated builds. You can upload the Guix
image to Docker Hub and get all of those benefits except the automated
builds: see https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/repos/
If you can pack an ARM build into the image so it's multiarch, that's
great too. I know there's a way to do it with the Docker tools, so the
image format supports it. But it's definitely not a requirement.
I can add you to the Docker Hub account so you can do at least the first
uploads. Later we can automate them through Hydra or some other CI tool.
