Is it OK to post them to this mailing list? Yes, at least at the beginning.

We package only free software, as per the broad definition that can be found at <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html>. Since you’re already familiar with Nix already, you may like the ‘guix import’ command (only briefly mentioned in the manual). For instance, you can run: guix import /path/to/nixpkgs foo and that will import and convert the Nixpkgs definition for ‘foo’ to Guix. However, please make sure to check the license information. Happy hacking! Ludo’.
