bug#28471: guix pull doesn't update the user manual
guix pull should build and install the latest documentation of Guix to the user profile so that `info guix' always displays the current documentation. This seems to confuse Guix users every now and then, myself included, and the work around of cloning a full copy of the guix sources just to build the manual is not user friendly nor trivial.
bug#28470: caff in the signing-party package can't find sendmail on GuixSD
When using caff from the signing-tools pacakge, it looks for sendmail in the wrong places [1]. It would be useful to find a way to make it work when installed. I have found a workaround, which is to specify PERL_MAILERS as sendmail:$(type -p sendmail), e.g.: PERL_MAILERS=sendmail:$(type -p sendmail) caff ... 1: /usr/lib/sendmail;/usr/sbin/sendmail;/usr/ucblib/sendmail pgpA4zqL4xChH.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I've modified the cron script to apply that change, now on the look for the next upload to see if it worked.
