I am not quite sure how this is supposed to make things easier. Why not simply
use a branch in the guix repo (like the existing wip-hurd, or wip-wip-hurd for
very experimental changes)? Then every commit of yours will be sent to our
mailing list, and you develop directly in our infrastructure.

Not to mention that github is not exactly popular in the free software
community, see "service as a software substitute", or
