That sounds like something that should be possible with the Guix Data
Service, I've added a timeline style table for package versions on a
branch (e.g. [1]), and it's possible to compare revisions to see the
changes, but it should be possible to construct a page that gives the
changes for multiple revisions.

So the Guix Data Service doesn't currently know about builds, but this
is something I'm looking to change [2], as it opens lots of new
possibilities. Including creating a page as you describe.

So as Pierre points out, there is the Guix-HPC package search. The Guix
Data Service also contains a search function (e.g. [3]).

If there's a need to keep the website as static content, maybe the
JavaScript approach used by the Guix-HPC site could be used on the Guix
Website. It should also be possible to use the Guix Data Service
information for a search feature.
Otherwise, maybe there could be a search box on the Guix Website, but it
links to packages.guix.gnu.org, which is a package search service (which
doesn't have to be part of the static website).

What were you thinking people might use this for?
Thanks,
