Hello,
Attempting to use 'guix refresh libuv' says:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ LANG=C guix refresh libuv
gnu/packages/libevent.scm:117:13: 1.44.2 is already the latest version of libuv
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The release form is here: https://dist.libuv.org/dist/v1.45.0/; there's
also a release tag in git: https://github.com/libuv/libuv/tree/v1.45.0.

Thanks,
Maxim

Because the package currently gets its source from dist.libuv.org, the
‘generic-html’ updater is picked; it browses
<https://dist.libuv.org/dist/v1.44.2> and concludes that there’s no
newer release. (Currently it doesn’t recurse so there’s no way it could
find the new release.)
We could fetch the code with ‘git-fetch’, in which case the ‘github’ or
‘generic-git’ updater would fire.
HTH,
Ludo’.

It'd have value to try to recurse the URL when the version string (full,
major-minor, or minor) appears in the URL, but it seems it'd be fragile
(we can't test all possibilities, and upstream may have jumped version
numbers)...

That seems more actionable, good idea!
