Yes, you're right. But I think 80% of all #{number} are pointers to RH
bugzilla. It's enough. By the way it support links to CAN- DB too.

We have different view on problem. I want to make it useful for
developers and package maintainers too. For this there are dependences
and details about all files in all supported architectures of package.

If I will prepare nice web page for users only, I'm sure that I will use
your script rather than my. (Hmm.. maybe we can for official fedora web
pages use your repoview and for internal RH developers use my script
with all FC+RHEL...).
