Not a direct answer, but I use the approach I've found in guixrus:
(patches
(parameterize
((%patch-path
(map
(lambda (directory)
(string-append directory "/guixrus/packages/patches"))
%load-path)))
(search-patches
;;patches created from github issues
"lxappearence-gtk3-01-only-do-x11-on-x11.patch"
"lxappearence-gtk3-02-set-some-settings-gsettings.patch")))
This is allows you to put patches quite conveniently in a channel.
