Initially just a link in the links section. Later on when we figure
out how to parse the fontlint, otvalid etc output, possibly something
in the TODO section, probably like what is shown for lintian
complaints from lintian.d.o.

A binary-package oriented index would be easier, otherwise we'd need
to call dpkg a lot or rewrite the review script in something other
than shell.

How about something like this? (not sure if it is valid YAML)
link:
text: Font review
- package: a2ps
url: http://pkg-fonts.alioth.debian.org/review/pkg-a2ps.html
- package: adonthell-data
url: http://pkg-fonts.alioth.debian.org/review/adonthell-data.html
todo:
text: The Debian font review
url: http://pkg-fonts.alioth.debian.org/review/
- type: fontlint
text: fontlint complaint(s)
- type: fontlint
text: fontlint complaint(s)
- package: a2ps
fontlint: 3
- package: adonthell-data
fontlint: 2
Initially the todo items would not be present and we would add them later.

The information for the TODO stuff is (mostly) in the review pages
already, the main issue is parsing it into a useful form for the PTS.
PS: this is something that could probably benefit from #509416 being
implemented.
