Cheers, and thank you for the feedback (addressed below).

The main reason is that commit is a fix for a reported issue [0], but
sadly isn’t part of any tagged release.  Further, the repository hasn’t
seen any activity in over a year, so I figured the likelihood of the
author tagging a new release any time soon is pretty slim.

[0]: https://github.com/alezost/mwim.el/issues/12

For what it’s worth, I’ve had this package definition in my personal
Guix channel for about six months now, and no activity in the upstream
repo through this time.

How does the following v2 look?
