I think this patch should have been sent to guix-devel for review. 

The patches are from a 3rd-party repository. The author does seem to
have a relationship to the OpenJPEG project (from past commits), but
nobody else from OpenJPEG commented on these changes yet:

https://github.com/uclouvain/openjpeg/issues/871
https://github.com/uclouvain/openjpeg/issues/872
https://github.com/uclouvain/openjpeg/pull/873/files

While poking around, I noticed there is a newer OpenJPEG release
(2.1.2), and a bunch of recent bugs:

Especial CVE-2016-8332:
