There is not such thing but that something that could be done. I guess it just need to define an xml format (the best would be to use an already defined one) and write a script that update such xml file every day. (we had a similar script in the past, with savannah). We could have an xml export for users too, providing informations that could be useful elsewhere (ssh public keys etc). If you are interested, that's a task we could open for the project Savane.
