Some of the fontlint reports can be a bit implicit... and sometimes upstream may have a different view than fontforge but I agree that it would be very useful to expose the corresponding entry from our weekly review directly in the PTS. (There's already a link from the review subpages to the PTS, a reciprocal link is a great idea!). I recommend we add a link to the corresponding review page for a particular package instead of focusing on fontlint reports only, so when we update the review to include more tools, the links stays the same and our users/developers get more information. AFAICT there's already a l10N link reporting on the translation status of the particular package. Let's follow that good example :-) IMHO generating more stats and slurping that into the UDD sounds like much more work and time that we currently have... What about something like that for ttf-foundry-fontfamilyname: [links] - homepage - changelog / copyright - lintian - font review - popcon with the href going to http://pkg-fonts.alioth.debian.org/review/pkg-ttf-foundry-fontfamilyname.html and the corresponding title attribute: "font review report: metadata, unicode coverage, fontlint report, smart features and more."
