Seems that the GPH repository given at
<https://www.gnupg.org/download/cvs_access.html> is now unreachable:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ cvs -z3 -d :pserver:[email-masked]:/cvs/gph co gph
cvs [checkout aborted]: connect to cvs.gnupg.org(217.69.76.56):2401 failed: Connection refused
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Incidentally, it’s DocBook, not Texinfo, so not convenient to refer to.

We could refer to the GnuPG manual, but it’s very much a reference
manual and doesn’t introduce OpenPGP concepts.

It sounds like fixing this documentation issue is beyond the scope of
Guix; on possible fix would be to revive the GPH, possibly converting it
to Texinfo and integrating it into GnuPG itself.

Thoughts?
