Thanks for the tip!

It wasn't reported on Malone, so I've done that now (bug #283097)

I'm not sure I understand how it would work. Would the information be in the
url? If so, I don't think I'd look at it... Or will the information be next to
each package in the page? If so, I think it would be a useful addition.

Another option would be to implement the bug graphs from Bryce in Launchpad
