We can seach packages and restrict them by “spec” and/or “system” and
that can give you a list of other builds.  It’s not quite what you’re
looking for, but it can get close enough.

I’d like to see something like that as well.  Would make it much easier
to see what packages are *newly* failing, presumably because of a change
on this branch.

(Right now the list of failed builds for wip-texlive, for example, isn’t
all that helpful, because I don’t know if that’s my fault or if these
failures are “expected”.)
