Viewing a database is normally understood to mean viewing it through its

You still can. There are mirrors on master (deprecated) and merkel, as
publicized on debian-devel-announce.

I don't know of anything which isn't just an implementation detail of
debbugs, as opposed to data viewable in no other way. If you do, please
elaborate.
