Sure, you are most welcome.

I will put it back online.
For now: http://santamaria.inria.fr:8080/

I don't have this but we can probably get access or funding to do that.

This is this SVN branch:
http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-llvm/llvm-toolchain/branches/snapshot
I try to keep it in sync with the major release

Nope, usually when I see something interesting or when someone ask.
However, I would be happy if we can improve that.

yes, we can make debian bug as forwarded to the llvm.org/bug bt

Probably in
http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-llvm/llvm-toolchain/branches/

Thanks & sorry for the lack of doc!
