I was thinking about an html index page with every package from
missing-packages, something like:

source | missing-deps-in-unstable? | missing-deps-in-unstable+experimental?
   binary1 | missing-deps-in-unstable? | missing-deps-in-unstable+experimental?
   ...
   binaryN | missing-deps-in-unstable? | missing-deps-in-unstable+experimental?

every "missing-deps-in" expands to missing (build-)depends in target
distribution, obviously if a source misses from build-dep it is vain to list
also binary packages since they will be FTBFS

is it possible to have also missing-sources a-la missing packages?

side note: it is not clear from the website whether missing-packages is against
breezy or hoary
