You probably need to provide a view by maintainer in order to get
visibility to many developers.  Typing all of one's packages in one after
another gets rather boring.

An interface like, say:

    <http://people.debian.org/~igloo/status.php?email=rra%40debian.org>

would be nice.

I have no personal interest in ensuring my packages build on Solaris and
am not going to proactively work on this, but as with any other niche
platform, well-formed, minimal patches are gratefully accepted and will be
applied for the next upload.  (This would change were this platform
accepted as an officially supported Debian release platform.)
