Like Leo I recommend that you work on a git checkout of Guix instead of
using GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH.  The latter is for users of packages that
probably won’t end up in Guix.  It’s not suited for development.

I’m using mu4e as well.  Attaching the patches is fine (looks like you
attached them twice: inline and as an attachment).

You can send them in separate emails.  Many of us use git send-email (in
this case we would instruct “git send-email” to reply to this thread),
which can be a little tricky to set up.

I’m going to take a look at your patches tomorrow.
