I also have my own personal "upstream staging" channel so that I can continue 
contributing to Guix at my own pace, in my own way, until I can get enough 
velocity to really internalize contributing in the way Guix would like me to. I 
also tend to hack on things there, and then batch my changes for upstream so 
that I can keep everything consistent and make sure all my code meets upstream 
standards. In the meantime, I'm able to actually use the code.

My only concern with organizing this activity into a group is that it is a kind 
of "community fork". I hope we can take the reasons people make these channels 
and bring them back to Guix proper to make contributing here just as easy.

At any rate, any energy put into the ecosystem is good in my book. Cheers! :)
