The easiest way to accomplish that would be a shared r7rs-srfi GitHub
repo where you can give access to a group of people. The whole repo
could then be uploaded to snow-fort as one package. That's how chez-srfi
is done in Akku: <https://akkuscm.org/packages/chez-srfi/>.

In fact, anyone who is willing to contribute fixes to a particular
SRFI's sample implementation, or to add an entirely new sample
implementation, is allowed to do so. At least that has been my
impression of recent activities. Just ask on a SRFI's mailing list
and/or send pull requests to the SRFI's GitHub repo :)

Thanks! Last I checked, @arcfide who curates chez-srfi was quite
responsive and helpful so if you have any questions about a similar r7rs
project he might be able to help. Göran Weinholt (who I think is
subscribed to this list) wrote Akku and also has a lot of experience
with r6rs<->r7rs portability. This guy @okuoku as well:
<https://github.com/okuoku/yuni>. This is a good idea and it would be
great to get a group of people together to do it.
