Provide a per-developer/maintainer overview of packages "touched":
maintained packages, NMUs, QA uploads, WNPP (ITP/RFP)

The code is in the 'qa' svn repository. There's a single PHP script:
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/qa/trunk/wml/developer.wml?op=file&rev=0&sc=0

It runs on merkel, under user qa.

PHP. The scripts used to fetch data from the various sources are written
in python and perl, mostly.

Data is stored using berkeley db files. The bdb files are available on
http://qa.debian.org/data/. I'm not sure of the data format.

bug count, versions in each suite (from Sources files), Ubuntu versions
and bugs, update excuses, buildd status, Debcheck results, popcon score,
watch status (from DEHS).

All of those are fetched using cronjobs.

none, AFAIK.
