Hi, this summer, after few mails on this list, i started something similar (feeling the same need)... here is the repo
https://github.com/lbraglia/PackageDevelopmentTaskView Currently it's quite freezed since i'm working on other projects in my free software spare time (and likely i won't return to it) but could be a starting point for someone else interested.
