Does guix-refresh --recursive do that? 

#+BEGIN_SRC sh
$ guix refresh --recursive guile

I'm sure you can use an awk script and uniq from coreutils to turn that
into what you want.


     Note that for core packages this can yield huge graphs.  If all you
     want is to know the number of packages that depend on a given
     package, use ‘guix refresh --list-dependent’ (*note
     ‘--list-dependent’: Invoking guix refresh.).
