I've actually changed this to guile-next now, as the bffe needs the new
scheme custom/soft ports that don't cause issues with fibers.

It's been running on bayfront for a while, and manages pages like:

  https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org/
  https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org/activity
  https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org/build/21fa2ed8-b4d0-43ca-8531-e1fa33266708

As well as taking over the job of querying the data service for builds
and submitting them to the coordinator.
