Well, what we'd need is twofold: a way to query that database for the estimated build time of package X, and a way to correct for the various build speeds on different hardware, for the time estimate to be meaningful. I'm sure you can provide query access easily. Normalization of build time needs to be done from scratch, perhaps.
