See ‘16.4 Packaging Guidelines’ and ‘16.6 Submitting Patches’ in the manual.

There's an uniform style for commit messages.  Example for
when adding new packages:

(start snip)
commit 7382b1027a319e505be6cfcadf1f5bd761dadccc
Author: Ricardo Wurmus <rekado@elephly.net>
Date:   Thu Feb 4 23:20:05 2021 +0100

    gnu: Add r-shinyjqui.
    
    * gnu/packages/cran.scm (r-shinyjqui): New variable.

commit 5ae09d7979a0696d862b9555314eab199f7ce576
Author: Ricardo Wurmus <rekado@elephly.net>
Date:   Thu Feb 4 22:41:35 2021 +0100

    gnu: Add r-spelling.
    
    * gnu/packages/cran.scm (r-spelling): New variable.
(end snip)

(More examples in the git history)

When defining a new package, usually a copyright line should
be added at the top of the file.

I prefer referring to the commit directly instead of by tag, as
the commit is required for SWH fallback if the repo disappears.

Is there any particular reason tests are disabled?  Maybe add
a comment "; No test suite." if that's the case.

I'm not a fan of starting package descriptions with "This package is ...",
even though plenty of plenty of packages in gnu/package/node-xyz.scm have
such a description.  A description from gnu/packages/guile-xyz.scm I like:

     "Guile-DSV is a GNU Guile module for working with the
delimiter-separated values (DSV) data format.  Guile-DSV supports the
Unix-style DSV format and RFC 4180 format."

Greetings,
Maxime.
