LGTM, though I'm not sure we actually need a static gid for murmur?

The gid was "reserved" anyway because it's equal to the uid, so why not use it? Having it static could be useful in some migration scenarios and for example when generating certs externally and bind mounting them into a container or supplying them via nfs.

For example I generate letsencrypt certs in a container that only runs my authority dns. This enables me to generate certs for other containers with the right uid simply by doing

[...]
users.groups.murmur.gid = config.ids.gids.murmur;
security.acme = {
[...]
        certs."mumble.example.com" = {
          dnsProvider = "exec";
          credentialsFile = pkgs.writeText "env" "EXEC_PATH=${dnstool}/bin/update-dns.sh";
          group = "murmur";
        };
[...]
