I haven't got around to looking at that, but the data service failed to
process the v1 patch, the job timed out after 72 hours.

I don't think that necessarily means that patch hasn't worked, it's just
that we needed to build nss (because grafts, see #61363) to compute the
guix derivation for each system. As Ludo pointed out to me on IRC
though, that can probably be avoided so I've sent a v2 series that
includes a couple of patches to remove the link between guix and nss via
packages needed for the po4a tests.

Lets see if this gets further and we hopefully see how nss builds on
different systems.
