Definitely, that’d be a great contribution!

Among other things, I didn’t pay attention to memory management; some
objects need finalizers, some are documented as having the same life
time as the repository object they come from (a weak-key hash table
could be used to have the life time of Scheme object match that of their
C counterpart.)  Nothing terrible though, and you know all that very
well.

It may become a mandatory dependency because we’d use it in ‘guix pull’.

Fine with me!

Thank you!
