Actually, I think they would if (1) the filters are good so that the
reports are short and "interesting" and (2) there was a summary page
or frame or so that gave statistics on number of packages, number of
builds, errors, packages that give the most errors, maintainers whose
packages _never_ throw errors :-) etc.
This is a fairly hard problem, it will take a lot of tweaking. But
something to aim for.
