I never noticed this script before (it looks very useful!), but I've been following the manual steps listed on https://nixos.org/wiki/Contributing#How_to_verify_that_you_didn.27t_break_a_dependency_or_the_evaluation_by_accident_.3F as a sanity check, which includes a step to rebuild everything affected by the change. I guess it would be a bit lame, but we could use Travis to calculate the amount of rebuilds required. I discussed the possibility of using monitor.nixos.org to calculate this for pull requests with Evgeny (phreedom) on IRC before, but he felt it would be too expensive, and (IIRC) a bit out of scope for the monitor project (which I have been missing greatly for the past number of weeks, I hope it gets well soon!).
