This is a great idea -- it would be lovely if these data were exposed on the
UDD dmd.cgi too, since many developers use that as a good overview of
everything to do with packages of interest.
Is there a simple data export from salsa of open MRs? Walking all repos to see
if there are open MRs is not the right thing to do. If walking needs to be
done, then this is a candidate to be integrated with vcswatch or duck (and
perhaps they need merging too, tbh).
Slurping a data file into a UDD table and exposing the information is then a
relatively easy step.
Cheers
