If you ask me, making information available is always useful. As Roberto said, 
problems can be found. If the new queue status page claims some bug is fixed 
in a package, I could take a look at the changelog (or other relevant 
information) for some more information about it.

I believe we should just make the things we know publically available. That 
makes it the easiest to get new things done with them, or just get some 
specific information for which you'd otherwise have to ask an FTP master.

If the generation of those pages could be linked to the generation of the NEW 
queue status page, and even linked from there, I think that would be ideal.
