Thanks for sharing that! I did not look into it deeply and had not 
realized this was possible.

I think this should be included in HACKING where emacs-debbugs is mentioned:
"* Using emacs-debbugs

Bug reports and patches are tracked using debbugs. If you are on emacs, you
can use emacs-debbugs.

List all open bug reports on guix-patches with

C-u M-x debbugs-gnu <RET> <RET> guix-patches <RET> n y"

Also we should mention that the error which appears after applying 
patches from emails can be ignored - the patches apply succesfully anyways.

If you want to apply only one of several patches from a single email you 
have to select manually and run M-x magit-apply (if I remember correctly)
