source.d.o and lintian.d.o should probably live together, because lintian
requires the source (and binary) package to be unpacked. Some hard links
dark magic would be needed to make it really useful. The only constraints I
can think about are the machine's RAM and CPU, as lintian needs quite a bit
off them so that it can finish an archive wide (sid/main/i386 only atm) run
in less than a week.
I'm not the right person to talk about lintian.d.o, though; putting
lint-maint in the loop.
P.S. no need to CC-me as long as either lintian-maint or -project receive a
copy.
Cheers,
