This is a wonderful resource!  Thank you, Janneke (and Debian)!

You'd take the timestamp immediately preceding your desired (Guix) 
commit's date, or something like that.  The fact that git commit 
dates aren't linear shouldn't hurt here.

Not without parsing HTML to get the valid timestamps: 
<https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/?year=2020&month=2>.

Also, this doesn't seem to be a supported service yet[0]:

  “This is an implementation for a possible snapshot.debian.org 
  service.
   It's not yet finished, it's more a prototype/proof of concept 
   to show
   and learn what we want and can provide.  So far it seems to 
   actually work.”

Still really cool,

T G-R
