Hi Guix,

Hope everyone is well !

This topic occupied me for a while.
I know there is some documented practice s, but I feel we missing some
formalism and templates when the deprecation issue is open.

Would it be any interest among community to have something like
this as proper GCD?

-  an agreed template for package deprecation issue

Title: Remove <package-name>@<version>: Breaf reasoning.
Body:
  More detailed reasoning
  Guix git history of the package updates
  Any open upstream issues
  Any alternative if there is any
  List of other channels informed about depression
  Attached full build log

- agreed list of the channels to be informed (guix-science, guix-past, ...)

- document when to add : -next, -bootstrap, -minimal, or apply graft
and when/how to remove them

I hope to boost some coordination between related channel,
I also may be useful to attract some attention when help to fix
is wanted.

Thanks,
Oleg
