I'm interested in that information too, thanks, Gábor.

I think the name of the service is static-web-site. This is maintenance 
repository:

$ git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix/maintenance.git

And the service seems to be defined in "hydra/modules/sysadmin/web.scm" (check 
for static-web-site-service-type).
