This could be a starting point:
http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=debian-multimedia%40lists.debian.org&comaint=yes
at least as far as uploaded packages are concerned.
Thanks. I'm thinking more about tracking packages before they get to
this point. I'm interested in the wnpp tags to start with, the standard
bug reports are reasonably obvious to find.
Of course this makes sense only if more and more packages are
maintained under the debian-multimedia group umbrella.
Anyway http://qa.debian.org/developer.php has the ability to set tags
and display custom sets of packages.
Hmm, yes. It's going to take me a while to figure out how to get all the
information I want using this system. I'm reading through the scripts in
the reportbug package for clues now. Ideally I'd like to avoid parsing
html pages, I'm sure it shouldn't be necessary.
cheers
