Looks like what ‘pinentry-gtk2’, ‘pinentry-gnome3’, ‘pinentry-qt’ do.
I think it's a way to go.

To prepare a patch you should have a Guix from a Git checkout [1].
You could still just send a package recipe in plain text.

^^^^^^^^^
You probably mean this. ;-)

Sorry, I don't understand what do you mean.
Do you mean ‘#:use-module (gnu packages gnupg)’?

You want to name your Guile module properly [2]. In case of
‘GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH=$HOME/.guix-packages’:
(define-module (gnupg) …)
> That said, is this the commended way to proceed?
Sorry, I don't fully understand the question. As far as I understand,
the answer is you could use ‘GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH’ to have recipes that
cannot be in Guix package collection for some reason, e.g. customized
for own purpose recipes. It's not the case of ‘pinentry-emacs’. ;-)
> Or should I work from a local checkout of guix?
Local checkout allows you prepare patches and use ‘guix’ without ‘guix
pull’. If you plan to contribute more it's definitely worth to have it.
