To run the service we need:
1 the Packages files on which we run our analysis in their latest version
(the ones that you find as dists/sid/main/binary-<ARCH>/Packages on a mirror):
sid, testing, stable;
all release architectures (plus possible some more, like hurd-i386)
at least main, if possible also non-free and contrib
it would be great if these were already available on the machine so that we
don't have to fetch them ourselves.
2 Particular packages installed: dose-distcheck. It would be great if there
were a way to upgrade that package if necessary (through backports?)
3 Computing power: The script would run once per day. On my desktop amd64
machine I would estimate a total running time of 10 to 15 minutes for that.
4 Disk space (for the static web pages that hold the results): this depends
on the number of days for which we will hold old results. A rough estimate is
10M * number_of_days. The old edos-debcheck used number_of_day=7, which seems
to be a reasonable compromise. Better not be too tight on disk space since
the need might increase on a bad day when we have lots of non-installable
packages.

Principle contact could be me, but there are two people who have already
expressed interest in helping out.
Cheers -Ralf.
