I don't think it's critical to the project at all, for it to be useful 
to Gentoo developers. As a dev myself, I typically avoid things that 
require me to go to websites because it just takes longer. I use CLI 
interfaces to bugzilla, I read mailing lists and use text editors in a 
terminal, etc.

I'd like a simple CLI tool that just goes and grabs me the info about a 
given package, or shows me overall rankings for certain sets of packages 
(depending on specified queries). Perhaps a web-service (using REST or 
SOAP) would be more interesting to implement than an actual UI. Then 
anyone could tack a web-based UI on later.

Sure, a webapp might be nice for users, and perhaps for a few devs, but 
you could definitely propose a complete project without it.
