Well, sometimes, even upstream descriptions need to be reworded.

Unfortunately, no. My concern is that I don't know what this package is
about, and the synopsis doesn't help me finding it out. Maybe the term
"project" is too vague.

Note that the synopsis must fit on a single line, and is not a full
sentence. You may want to run "guix lint" on your package definition.

Also, I suggest to remove the big note at the beginning of each
description. It may make sense as a foreword in a project home page, but
I don't think it does when describing the software.

Sure.

I see you send new patches. Could you integrate the suggestion above,
and include a proper commit message, like the following:

    gnu: Add emacs-xref.

    * gnu/packages/emacs-xyz.scm (emacs-xref): New variable.

?

Thanks!
