How about =E2=80=9CNavigating Email with public-inbox=E2=80=9D?  Please als=
o update the
menu above.

I=E2=80=99d drop the second sentence and change the first one to something =
like:
=E2=80=9CContributing to Guix involves a lot of communication by email on p=
ublic
mailing lists.=E2=80=9D  I think it=E2=80=99s enough.

s/Public Inbox/public-inbox/ (apparently that=E2=80=99s how they spell it)

Also: @uref{https://public-inbox.org/README.html, public-inbox} rather
than a separate @url.

Could you send an updated patch?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.

+@node Tracking bugs and issues with public-inbox
+@subsection Tracking bugs and issues with public-inbox
+
+Contributing to Guix is strongly based on an email based workflow, as
+patches and bugs are sent by email to its corresponding
+maillists. Reviewers reply to emails, and an exchange thread follows
+until a consensus is reached, and the contribution is accepted or
+rejected. With time, this implies a deluge of emails on inboxes, which
+difficults collaboration of communities.
+
+As an alternative, the yhetil.org @url{https://yhetil.org} service,
+using Public Inbox @url{https://public-inbox.org/README.html}, provides
+an online, always available archive with the complete history of a
+maillist. It exposes a public, URL oriented fronted based on Message-ID
+identifiers to classify email exchanges. It offers full thread overview,
+atom feeds, reply links and thread download in mbox format for local
+maniputation.
+
+The yhetil.org service also includes advanced searching capabilities,
+which combined with mumi hints
+@url{https://issues.guix.gnu.org/help#search} to track status, tags,
+Message ID, etc., provides a powerful tool to contribute to Guix.
