If you wish to update the emacs-guix package (or patching, etc.), then
yeah, CC'ing emacs-team for faster processing is the way to go.  That
said, we don't typically know about every emacs package in there, much
less their intrinsics.

Regarding the functionality of emacs-guix, as far as I know, the
derivation mode still works, but the UI etc. has a hard time otherwise.

It is a known bug and has been for some time.  Sadly, no one's
submitted a fix yet.
