No worries.  I think the first thing to do would be to let Alex Kost
(the author and current maintainer of Emacs-Guix) of our intentions to
take on the maintenance of Emacs-Guix, and that its new home would be on
Savannah.

Then, if Alex doesn't see a problem with it, the second step would be to
push the current code found at https://gitlab.com/emacs-guix/emacs-guix
to the new Savannah hosted repo.

Something along those lines:

git clone https://gitlab.com/emacs-guix/emacs-guix
git remote remove origin
git remote add origin ssh://new-repo-url
git push origin

I think it means that he repository would be attached to the GNU Guix
project (it'd be one of its many Git repositories, such as the
'maintenance' repo [0]).

I hope that helps!

Thank you,

Maxim
