Hi Andrew, A bit of a late reply…

Alex Kost stopped maintaining it a few years ago. The current URL is: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/emacs-guix.git/ It has seen few changes over time, unfortunately, but there are pending patches to improve the situation: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/76699 Help would be much welcome; it needs love! :-) Thanks, Ludo’.
