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).
