I think it would be useful to show a rolling report of upgraded/added
packages. We used to have the mailing list for that and now debbugs.

A simple page that can be reloaded to see the latest with version info
and link outs to the builds would be rather useful. Then, on a weekly
basis, create an overiew.

Not only good for humans, also good for search engines. I find the
current package list https://guix.gnu.org/packages/ pretty useful, but
I would like a search function because one keeps clicking to find a
certain package.

May also be an idea to provide links throught the guix CLI, such as

  https://guix.gnu.org/packages/alsa-lib-1.1.9/
