For the Git branches, there's Gitolite+cgit+some other stuff setup here
https://git.guix-patches.cbaines.net/git/guix-patches

So yes, this command should work (obviously, disabling authentication
isn't good):

  guix time-machine \
    --url=https://git.guix-patches.cbaines.net/git/guix-patches \
    --branch=issue-58812 --disable-authentication -- shell --symlink

Eventually I'd like to move this off of a machine I'm paying for, plus
move it on to a .guix domain. Also, even though the channel instance for
some branches might have been built by the data.qa.guix.gnu.org Guix
Data Service, this isn't done in a way that substitutes are available,
so that's not ideal.

I'm using this list here https://qa.guix.gnu.org/patches and just
looking at the ones at the top with the green circle by them.

An API endpoint could easily be added though if that's useful.

Yep. I'm currently trying to keep the qa-frontpage relatively stateless,
so it's just reading the tags in debbugs.

Thanks,

Chris
