Not good enough. Please add it to the central place we all go hunting for
buildd issues: buildd.debian.org.
<sarcasm>
Oh wait, I forgot that buildd.d.o is effectively read-only, as it has
already reached perfection. Never mind.

The most effective way to do it is IMHO a BTS entry for each ARCH port, to
track down all porting issues with a damn good memory. THAT's transparency,
and it is much more manageable than trying to contact a number of mailing
lists (which are often quite effective) and email addresses (which aren't
_apparently_). The PTS takes care of keeping whichever email addresses
informed.
And the history we get from the BTS can definately help track which arches
are boggling down the rest of Debian, and how often that happens.
