I have a mostly complete screen scraper:
    https://sourceforge.net/projects/sftools/

As I recall, the SF project is broken because the
permissions are wrong in the CVS repository.  I can submit
an admin request for that to happen.

It might be productive for Guido to send a note to Pat
McGovern and ask.  The tracker is implemented with a
relational database.  What we really want is a way to write
custom queries and reports for that database?  The
screenscaper is a tedious an expensive way to accomplish
that.  I don't know if SF has considered or would be willing
to let us run the queries.
