Since the official gnu guix repository is mainly for GuixSD, it makes
sense to make another guix repository for guile modules to be used on
multiple linux distributions. I'm not sure if guix works on windows
and Mac OS, too.

If you made it possible to add third party guix repository URLs,
people would add third party repositories later without upfront
coordination with guix developers.

To be honest I could be interested to have another repository with guix
recipes where it's easier to contribute and/or dedicated to guile.

But this will still be only available only to GNU/Linux users.

Also, I'd better stay focus on guix. There is guildhall for guile, take it as the official Guile package manager if you
