Hello, I am fine, thanks!

You (and all the Guix people) are free to do whatever you think is
appropriate. Emacs-Guix is a free software after all.
So if you will maintain the "official" (used by Guix) version of
Emacs-Guix at Savannah, I will only be happy that I don't have this
burden anymore.
As for me, I will continue to use my version of Emacs-Guix and to adjust
it for my needs.
And thank you for your latest commits that fixed Emacs-Guix for the
current versions of Guix and Geiser!

To add to the confusion, note that this Gitlab repo [2] also contains
some issues. But both Gitlab and Github repos are sync by Alex, I
guess.
BTW, note this message [3] by Alex on April 2020:
I am very sorry but I rarely use Guix and Emacs-Guix these days and I
don't have any wish to maintain it. I mean, if it is some small
easy-to-fix problem or a proposed patch, then I will look at it, but
investigating a problem like this is too much for me currently. Sorry
:-(
Hopefully, someone else who has this problem will look at it.

and I sent them an email off-list asking them the status on 29 May 2020,
15:33. And I am not able to find an answer back.
Cheers,
simon
