well, i'm taking a fairly conservative approach, at least for starting off, at 
trying to pre-generate everything.  the less dynamic stuff going on the less 
chance for "bad things" happening with shoddy code, and the less one can be 
distracted by various other unrelated problems and instead put the focus on 
what should be presented and how.  

i'm sure that we'll inevitably need some level of interactiveness, like having 
a way to query the patches for a package, add/remove patch metadata, 
interacting with external sources, etc, but starting simple with something 
that can hopefully have smaller portions gutted later to do this.

again, had less time than hoped for on this, but i've been making enough 
progress that i can at least share the humble beginnings of the code.  
there's not a whole lot to see, just a breakdown of the patch info from the 
diff.gz in various ways (./debian , non-./debian, series patch listing and 
info) and downloadable/marked-up versions of all the patches:

http://git.debian.org/?p=users/seanius/patch-tracker.git;a=summary

there's a README with some brief info.

and i've rsync'd a copy of my "partial" source archive tracking data (okay, so 
it's three semi-randomly chosen source packages, one native, one diff.gz. 
only, one with quilt-like series) here:

http://people.debian.org/~seanius/pts/patches/

the design is fairly spartan at this point, but it's all xhtml compliant and 
using a centralized stylesheet, so that can be fixed later :)

anyway, the lines are open for comments/suggestions/patches/etc :)
