One last thing:

> +(define (check-source-unstable-tarball package)
> +  "Emit a warning if PACKAGE's source is an autogenerated tarball."
> +  (define (check-source-uri uri)
> +    (when (and (string=? (uri-host (string->uri uri)) "github.com")
> +               (string=? (third (split-and-decode-uri-path
> +                                   (uri-path (string->uri uri))))
> +                     "archive"))

‘third’ could fail badly if the list has fewer elements, so I’d suggest
writing it something like:

  (when (and …
             (match (split-and-decode-uri-path …)
               ((_ _ "archive" _ ...) #t)
               (_ #f)))
     …)

Otherwise LGTM, thank you!
