Or maybe add it to the Packages menu item? For example:

Packages (/LANG/packages/)
  Channels (/LANG/packages/channels/ or /LANG/channels/)

Also, the Packages page could also mention that that list of packages comes from the Guix channel, but more packages are available from other channels (and link to the new list of channels).

I don't know about the "Community" part because I think the Guix community [is | will be] split into "Libre Only Community" and "Open Source with Proprietary Comunity", so maybe each community should build their own websites that better reflect their own goals? I don't know...
