Bug#824912: tracker.d.o: add an API for action items

[Paul Wise]

Package: tracker.debian.org
Severity: wishlist
Control: affects -1 check-all-the-things devscripts
X-Debbugs-CC: check-all-the-things at packages.debian.org, devscripts at packages.debian.org
User: check-all-the-things at packages.debian.org
Usertags: new-check

It would be nice to have an API for tracker.debian.org so that people
could run a command-line tool to list all the actions that are needed
on a package as well as the URLs to more info about those actions.

This could then be automatically run by check-all-the-things and
manually by people wanting to check what they need to do.

I'm not sure what this API should look like but maybe JSON:

GET https://tracker.debian.org/api/json/1/iotop/actions
[
 { 'type': 'lintian', 'url': 'https://lintian.debian.org/maintainer/pabs@debian.org.html#iotop' }
]

Or maybe like this using plain text:

GET https://tracker.debian.org/api/text/1/iotop/actions
There is 1 lintian warning: https://lintian.debian.org/maintainer/pabs@debian.org.html#iotop
