To be honest, I have not allocated enough time for Guix development for
any significant contribution like an xdm package. I hope 2020 will be
better. I hope someone else wants to work on it before that time (but
in my current Guix installations the desktop manager, whichever this
is, works properly). In any case, I can make time for testing Guix
code if that is useful at all.

Point taken. Seems reasonable.
