I'll work on that ASAP :)

I'll read it as soon as I have some time :)

In pkg-perl we have kinda the same thing:

http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/qa/versions.html

Well, consider that the original thing was created to be run from PHP-CLI. I've
just adapted it to web (file uploads - <br />'s instead of \n's...)

Agreed.

Parsable in debian/control (we now have Homepage: field - as discussed on
debian-devel)

Both parsable from the debian/ directory.

(I've written a bit of perl script which retrieves the WNPP bug number from
http://bugs.debian.org/wnpp -- not from debian/. We can use it)

Agreed, but most things already are on the QA page (see backports, wnpp,
popcon)

What do you mean here?

We could even make a graph of the packages basing on lines of code :)
(/me really likes the idea)

Fully agreed.

Sure, why not? :)

Don't worry :)

Have a nice day,
