I think it could be:

  SPDX-FileCopyrightText: 2012-2026 The GNU Guix Contributors

I agree it should be a GCD.

During the discussion at
<https://codeberg.org/guix-science/guix-science/pulls/283>, one of the
points that was raised is that those copyright lines were viewed as a
way to credit people.  That’s clearly not the intent, but it’s worth
noting.

Thanks,
