I noticed the recent commit switches the Emacs minor mode from Skribe to 
Skribilio, any idea
whether it more than just a namechange?

Cool! Perhaps rather than just the HTML cruft the overviews existed as a Finger 
(type!) status?

You have the added confidence of demonstrating a Guix install - if there were a 
bunch of peers using such a refined setup things could be interesting with them 
making updates based upon peers badges. Such an approach could help alleviate 
or complement interfacing issues concerning hooks (if not reduce CI's 
environmental footprint if people were to commit to being the next builder (a 
CI builer queue?)).
