I think not. I think that list shows recent popular failures. What I want: for example, imagine a module does great web scraping when it is released, then the pages change and the scraper fails, and the well-written tests fail, but the author does not respond. After the initial spurt of testing on the module release with passes, only a few fails might later trickle in for a profoundly broken module, by its own admission. It would be nice to look at detailed information about 1 module and be able to assess its "freshness" in passing or failing, rather than go to another web page and search to see if the module I need is "stale". I think authors might more follow their own modules than a global "fail" page.
