Someone already did, at least for the buildd side - http://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ (with specific reference to http://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/wanna-build-states). It's linked from http://www.debian.org/devel/, under "Projects", "Autobuilder network". There's also, e.g., http://buildd.debian.org/~jeroen/status/ but I'm not sure if that's directly linked from anywhere. Adam
