Yann,
Thanks for taking the time to let us know what you found!

Great. That post & repository were exactly what I was looking for, had
they been published a month earlier. Unfortunately, I found nothing and
libhilbert has since been removed form Guix.[0]
I'll e-mail my compatriot to ask if there's still an original tarball
about. I doubt that the original was signed or exhaustively audited, but
it would be nice to have more than Pierre's word that this is the exact
same code before I add it back.

I clicked that same button under your archived post and it opened the
window I'm now typing in.
It's a form button that loads a 302 redirect to a mailto: link, so it's
probably easily broken by certain ‘privacy’ settings and assumes you
have a mail client associated with the mailto: protocol. Perhaps this is
not the case (if you're an avid webmail user, for example).

That Gmail address was mandatory and got killed long ago.
I don't use Google & don't know how targeted their results are, but here
a quick Google search shows a badly anonymised version address on the
first page. I wish it didn't. I'd probably get less spam.

Thanks again,
