But the way I typically consume any of Miro's packaging reports is, I scroll down to the "affected (co-)maintainers" section, look for my userid to see if there's anything I need to deal with urgently, and then... Well, depends how much time I have. Sometimes, that's it. Other times, I look over the rest of the mail to see if any packages of interest to me are listed. But I always start by looking for my own name.

I am doing something similar - mostly giving the list of packages a
glance, and then checking if I am marked as affected by anything.
So moving things around (1, 3, 2, in your numbering scheme) would help :)
Though with the Packager Dashboard listing "affected by orphaned
packages" data, this has become less important.
Maybe the "affected by long-term FTBFS" data could be integrated into
the Packager Dashboard as well?
