Here is some wishlist for this tool:

• Add trunk testing: this is what will put pressure for people to
  continuously upgrade their packages. Ideally, it would also show the
  (date of the) latest successful build on trunk. Same for release
  branches once they are forked.
• Make the grid more narrow to fit more versions on a screen (e.g.
  abbreviate Broken Deps to "Deps") and show more recent versions
  (including trunk) to the left.
• By default, show only the latest version of each package.
• Add a mode where packages are grouped by maintainer.
• Try to make the errors more visible. E.g. for
  http://opam.ocamlpro.com/builder/html/github/github.1.0.0/3b48ac1bc360931d68afa4e126d96b44,
  the section "=== ERROR while compiling github.1.0.0 ==" could be moved
  to the top of the screen.
  • There could also be heuristics to detect the error and show
    directly in the main report grid the category. For instance,
    http://opam.ocamlpro.com/builder/html/acgtk/acgtk.1.0b/764d15d569e342c5ee761551e398fb38
    is simply about a new warning and "-warn-error A" in the package.
• It would be useful to force building package even if they claim they
  are not compatible with the latest version (or trunk). For instance, I
  was curious about why ocamlnet.4.0.4 did not build with 4.03. (In case
  people wonder, the first problem comes from the new error on multiple
  definitions of exceptions with the same name; this error was introduced
  on trunk in 2014 IIRC. The fix for ocamlnet is just to remove one line.)
