I have prepared a Python script that creates JSON output with the
relevant data from UDD.  Please check out

   http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=blends/website.git;a=blob;f=misc/pts/taskinfo-example.py

and run it from alioth.  Please let me know if you need any other
information.  Remark:  The Blends data are not yet updated via cron job
in UDD.  This needs to be organised once the data has proven to be
useful.

I'd regard my part to solve this bug now done in case you are happy
with this output.

Kind regards

      Andreas.

PS: Including the Blends metadata into UDD was a very good idea and
    I will come up with some other interesting ideas as consequences
    from this.
