Okay, here's what happened: 1. I found a bug in Guix that I wanted to report. 2. I checked the manual, which directed me to https://issues.guix.gnu.org/. 3. That page directed me to "submit your patches or email bug-guix@gnu.org to open a new issue." There were no further instructions, so I guessed that sending an email with the body "help" would return one with instructions on how to file an actual bug report. 4. Instead, that filed a bug reporting "help."
Perhaps this bug could be repurposed into one about improving the instructions for reporting bugs. :) Now I'll file the real bug report...
