All appears to me good. You do not mention that the coverage for
git-fetch is about ~98% and that Disarchive is very important because
the main source of origins is url-fetch, hence the total of 75%.
I would add at the end of the first paragraph something like:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[...]
Software Heritage as a fallback, with version 1.4.0 **the source code of
Guix channels is automatically fetched from Software Heritage** if its
original URL has become unreachable. As of the “[Preservation of Guix
Report](https://ngyro.com/pog-reports/latest/)” published in January
2022, more than 98% of the packages directly referring to Git
repositories are now fully archived in Software Heritage.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

LGTM.

PS: A side note and it is too late. :-) This:
- [“Using TeX and
LaTeX”](https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Using-TeX-and-LaTeX.html)
appears to me a Cookbook section and not a Manual section. Well, let
discuss that on January. :-)
