Fwiw public-inbox indexes the file name from diffs, so you might find
searching with the "dfn:" against the archive at
<https://yhetil.org/guix-patches> useful.  For example:

  https://yhetil.org/guix-patches/?q=dfn%3Agnu%2Fpackages%2Fpython-web.scm

Or with public-inbox's lei (from v1.7.0, which isn't yet packaged for
Guix), you could dump those results to a maildir:

  $ lei q -o /tmp/mdir --mua mutt \
    -I https://yhetil.org/guix-patches dfn:gnu/packages/python-web.scm 
d:4.months.ago..
  # later: update with new results and visit in mutt
  $ lei up --mua mutt /tmp/mdir

If you're interested, I went into a bit more detail about this at
