Kind of an old post, but our sprint efforts last week addressed some of these.

check-hottest now makes sure that the package branch is up to date
with the package publishing history, and that the upstream branch has
recent commits, unless it is specifically marked as being slow-moving.

Now we have some data on this.  Some of them are marked as special
cases, like the ones you mentioned, and others are developed entirely
corporately and there is no public branch to pull from.  Monotone
imports (maybe via fastimport not bzr-mt) now have a bug, but they
block only one from the hottest100.  Jelmer has landed something to
support KDE.

Here's a visual breakdown of the same (slightly stale) output I posted
the other day.  To me it makes it fairly clear the best focus for now
is on package imports.
