Unreproducible packages visibility

Hello Guix!

I know that making all packages reproducible is a current ongoing
effort, and I've seen a few bug reports in debbugs about specific
unreproducible packages.

Is there a way to know about all unreproducible packages? Something
similar to how Debian reports[0] it's packages.

But it is out-of-date since nearly a year. Who knows more about that
page? Ludo?

Producing that page was too resource intensive for our poor
hydra.gnu.org server, so we eventually disabled it.

We’re aiming to move the web site to a new server, and we may be able to
resume this and other things on that new server.

Speaking of which, help is needed to move the server!  :-)  If you’re
interested in helping out, and you’re familiar with DNS and load
balancing and things like that, please email guix-sysadmin@gnu.org!
