Yes:

and also the GNU GUIX website:

Yes.  Some advantages to using Haunt that I see would include its 
support for news posts, for Atom news feeds, and being able to share the 
maintenance load with upstream contributors (rather than maintaining our 
own solutions by ourselves), while also being flexible enough to be 
adaptable to whatever is needed.

It would take a closer look to see whether it made sense or not, in 
terms of integrating with the existing setup, but it does seem promising.
