Sorry I’m a little late to this party, but I wrote a similar script a
while ago.  It creates a “sources.json” file of all the sources that the
PoG database analyzed and found missing in SWH.  It only covers what PoG
monitors (which is *almost* everything, but not quite).

  $ git clone https://git.ngyro.com/preservation-of-guix
  $ cd preservation-of-guix
  $ wget https://ngyro.com/pog-reports/latest/pog.db

  [Wait a long time because my server is sloooow.]

  $ guile -L . etc/sources.scm pog.db > missing-sources.json

With some modifications, I used it to generate the attached list of
Bioconductor sources (based off of recent, unpublished PoG data).  I’ve
also attached the modifications in case anyone is curious or wants to
make a similar list.  I will publish the PoG database soon (today?), so
maybe wait for that before generating any lists.
