As I understand it, the Guix distribution is *not* a service but a piece of software. Neither the Guix community nor the GNU project have any responsibility over the third-party services you decide to use with the Guix system, your software in your computer; it's only responsible of what concerns their services: the website and the repositories.
For example, it's not that Guix shares your IP with your network provider, you share it yourself. It is indeed "your responsibility" (and your network provider's), but why would that be on the privacy policy for Guix?

>During your use of Guix’ software in its default configuration, your IP address may be revealed to the network services you use.

What configuration doesn't reveal your IP to the network services you use? If you use Tor, your IP will be revealed at least to the Tor access node. It's not possible to use the Internet without revealing your IP to at least one service.

I understand that the point of mentioning all that is more as an advice than a policy. Wouldn't it be more useful in a section about privacy recommendations (or something similar) that in the privacy policy?
