I don't think it's critical to the project at all, for it to be useful |
| 6 |
to Gentoo developers. As a dev myself, I typically avoid things that |
| 7 |
require me to go to websites because it just takes longer. I use CLI |
| 8 |
interfaces to bugzilla, I read mailing lists and use text editors in a |
| 9 |
terminal, etc. |

I'd like a simple CLI tool that just goes and grabs me the info about a |
| 12 |
given package, or shows me overall rankings for certain sets of packages |
| 13 |
(depending on specified queries). Perhaps a web-service (using REST or |
| 14 |
SOAP) would be more interesting to implement than an actual UI. Then |
| 15 |
anyone could tack a web-based UI on later. |

Sure, a webapp might be nice for users, and perhaps for a few devs, but |
| 18 |
you could definitely propose a complete project without it. |
