Neat!

Yes, a patch on top would be most convenient, I think. You basically
just need to add your info to the commercial/data.scm list of records,
along your logo.

Agreed. I wouldn't want to *force* anyone into donating, as there are
other means to provide backing to Guix as well (by code contributions,
hosting substitutes, etc.), but it should definitely be encouraged.

Edouard, David: I haven't heard back from you two; please confirm
whether you'd like to be listed. If I don't get a confirmation I'll let
you register your organizations via a PR later, if you'd like to do so.
