Hello Andreas,

> we have packaging guidelines to make things predictable for users

Imo, this is a counter argument: users do hear about GNU G-Golf,
g-golf, through emails, #guile, #guix, #gtk, #introspection ...
dedicated 'news' websites ... not because of guix.

By renaming, guix actually turns itself the most unpredictable distro.

> it is not up to every author/committer to name things as they wish.

Quite the opposite: it should not be up to the distro to rename
upstream projects as they wish. At the very least, the distro should
ask for an authorization.

> As a first rule, the upstream name g-golf should be kept as is.

There should be no other rule.

Regards,
David
