Mart has been looking for volunteers to work on grumpy[1], which is
essentially an extended version of gentoo-bumpchecker with lots of
maintainer-useful information collected, processed and presented in
one place. I recently asked him, and he expressed interest in
mentoring someone in GSoC/2010 for this. I think he would like it if
someone volunteered to co-mentor with him in this.

Personally, I think this project will *really* help maintainers, and
would be easy to deploy and maintain too.

PS: I've CC-ed Mart in case he isn't on gentoo-soc@l.g.o
