A true nit-pick, but all those lines should start at column 0 rather
than being indented.

Please mention the use of this patch in the commit changelog.

not...

$ guix gc --references $(./pre-inst-env guix build notmuch)

If possible, please add a hyperlink to the source of the patch. Ideally,
to a Git commit in a web-based Git repo interface.

Not knowing Emacs Lisp, I can't comment on the patch itself.
