Typically we don't package release candidates or beta software.
Sometimes we do, if there are critical bugs fixed in the RC that we
can't backport, or if the upstream development seems to have stalled
without issuing a final release.
Can you give more detail about this case?

Sure. This patch adds support for IPv6 to Prosody. See
https://prosody.im/doc/ipv6 and
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2017-12/msg00050.html.
Even though it's a release candidate, it's four years old, it's
recommended by Prosody, and I believe IPv6 is really important.

Given that this RC is 4 years old, implements a critical feature (IPv6),
and is recommended by one of our major packages which is also its own
user, LGTM :)
