But, doing that requires viewing realised copies of ebuilds, which
requires interpreting eclasses and variable interpolation, which
requires bash sourcing, which requires a mountain of portage hell.

Yes, sharing the stable-bot logic would probably be fine.

But it doesn't use a database AFAIK, it would likely just be making use
of the MD5Cache (either directly, or indirectly via portage APIs)

But I won't be volunteering, because I won't touch python.
