Stumpwm Contrib Packages

[Trev]

Hey Guix,

I am trying to decide whether or not to contribute a refactor of
stumpwm-contrib in gnu/packages/wm.scm. It feels like each contrib
module should be its own package with its own checkout and that it might
be a bad idea to update all of the contrib modules through one common
ancestor.

If you are not familar with stumpwm and stumpwm-contrib, you can see the
source repository here: https://github.com/stumpwm/stumpwm-contrib

The inheritance I am referring to is here:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/wm.scm#n1942

My reasoning for this is that if breaking changes are introduced to one
module, but wanted updates happen to another, it would be nice to avoid
the breaking changes and get the updates.

I have some related contributions to stumpwm-contrib that I would like
to submit but I would rather wait and see what others may think first
and perhaps avoid making the effort to refactor where the effort is not
wanted.

If I run into personal issues with the current pattern, I can always
just "fork" a module into my own channel, after all.
