I don't see why these should go in phases, when I think going in a 
snippet would be better. From "Snippets and Phases" in the Guix manual:

The 'fix-build-config is what I consider to be a serious bugfix, it 
doesn't matter that it was originally fixed as part of guix packaging.

The 'fix-sld2-headers phase might stay in a build phase, if most systems 
that pygame supports doesn't keep these headers where guix would locate 
them. But I would consider that a bug in other systems for not storing 
the headers in the file path upstream places them.

The 'fix-sdl2-headers doesn't embed store items, so there's no other 
justification other than the reason given above.
