I had a look at the script, unfortunately (for me), it's both a ruby
script and deps on paludis to get the information.

Personally I think this would work well, but re-written in python and
use portage for info.  As euscan is all about scanning for upgradeable
pkgs, it is already getting updated pkg info, scanning metadata.xml,
etc. using portage, gentoolkit, and custom code.  So this would fit well
with it.  It is python, django based.  It could also offer the rss feed
in a web page with a search box, and/or integrate the candidates into
the pkgs status reports it does.

Second reason, I believe it is getting or already has deployment on
gentoo infra servers.

I pinged `fox` in #-www about it, Corentin <iksaif> wasn't online there
at the time.  cc'ing them here.
