Yes, have look at the mailling list archive [1] to learn more about the 
state of the project.

The dev team is small enough to not require that feature right now, I 
think. If you want to know whether a package was added recently you only 
need to update the package repository and do a search:

$ guix pull
$ guix package -A $PACKAGE_NAME

`guix web` does not use a dedicated database, underneath it use basicaly 
`guix` command so at the time of writing the information you can access 
via `guix web` is more or less the information that is available in 
`guix`.

FWIW the simplest way to add this feature is to parse `git log` output 
(and maybe `git show`) or code guile bindings for libgit2. Maybe guix 
and guix web dev know better.
