This is the key point, in my opinion. Those who wanted to use this package were very welcome to do something about it. And they are still welcome to contribute a working package. They will even receive help and advice on IRC and the mailing lists :) But they must lead the effort. This whole conversation seems contrived because, clearly, nobody was using jrnl in Guix, since it was broken for 4(!) years. Guix is a distro for using programs. Not a graveyard, a junkyard, or a collection of historical artifacts.
