Indeed -- so sounds good. A human heads-up is best, and now that you
reiterate it I seem to recall having received those in the past.

None, ex ante, but I can't speak for all packages. Some can be behind.
I happen to know that 'team dplyr' at RStudio is planning a release and I saw
in (my upstream work for Rcpp) reverse-depends checking for Rcpp (new version
pending at CRAN) that a few packages are currently borked.

Sure. Just how we have eg bugs.debian.org/NUMBERHERE we have a general
per-package page at CRAN so
http://cloud.r-project.org/package=Rcpp
links to Rcpp's page, and it has a link to results which has a "mechanical"
URL as well albeit less clean:
https://cloud.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_Rcpp.html
We can s/Rcpp/AnyPackage/ here. Note that this may need capitalization so
translation back from Debian packages is 'tricky' (but we have URL info in
most debian/control files now). So eg my RcppArmadillo package has
https://cloud.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_RcppArmadillo.html
There are some R packages that scrabe this info on a per-maintainer
basis. foghorn is one. I have a simpler function checkCRANStatus() in my dang
package (not in Debian, it's just a minor grabbag of random utilities).
Hth, Dirk
