No. Not all of Debian uses one VCS repository (or even a VCS at all).
Some other teams have PET pages though, and the PTS lists packages
with newer versions on mentors.debian.net
http://pet.alioth.debian.org/

qareport.cgi seems to be a symlink to pet.cgi, so no difference.

http://bugs.debian.org/wnpp
Other places the same data is available are:
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/
http://wnpp.debian.net/

Usually direct to debian unstable/experimental. Also good are
http://mentors.debian.net or your homepage or to your public_html dir
on alioth or people.d.o.
