It's much more trivial to send new build/sparse errors/warnings to a
list than to setup a website :-) As the errors come and go every day,
and they are mostly unstructured, it seems the mailing list would be a
more natural fit. People can search for known errors there and/or CC
fixes there.
Anyway, we just sent an request for creating
automated-warnings@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
