Someone already did, at least for the buildd side -
http://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ (with specific reference to
http://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/wanna-build-states).
It's linked from http://www.debian.org/devel/, under "Projects",
"Autobuilder network".
There's also, e.g., http://buildd.debian.org/~jeroen/status/ but I'm not
sure if that's directly linked from anywhere.
