Btw, a while ago I wrote a private package emba.el. It allows you to see
the EMBA jobs output in an Emacs buffer. Like this

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
M-x emba-show-jobs
Number of jobs (default 5):

27760 * doc/misc/flymake.texi: Fix @include docstyle.texi
27759 * doc/misc/flymake.texi: Fix @include docstyle.texi
27758 * doc/misc/flymake.texi: Fix @include docstyle.texi
27757 Python shell: rearrange printing of newline before output
27756 Python shell: rearrange printing of newline before output
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

If you click on a line, you will see the job output. The job numbers are
also colorized, in order to see whether a job has succeeded or
failed. And they have a tooltip, which gives more information about the
job. Inspired by debbugs-gnu.el :-)

The downside is, that it requires glab.el, which is part of the ghub
package on MELPA.

Would it make sense to polish emba.el a little bit, and to offer this as
(Non)GNU ELPA package?
