I don't think you can send a patch for this. According to
<https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/>:
(This page generated by the gendocs.sh¹ script.)
This "gendocs.sh" uses "texi2html" to convert our texinfo documentation
(see "doc/guix.texi" in the guix git repo) to the html page. In
"guix.texi" the link you are talking about is a usual link to the
"gnutls-guile" manual. I didn't look at "texi2html" but I believe by
default it just assumes that all the manuals are placed at
"www.gnu.org/software/<package>/manual/", so for "external" manuals the
generated links are false. For example, there are also wrong links to
Geiser and Magit-Popup manuals.
So I think it's a general thing for all generated manuals that are
placed on "gnu.org".
