Yeah, I don't see why we can't scrape this data from the existing buildfarm output, at least for the core regression tests. New infrastructure could make it easier/cheaper, but I don't think we should invest in that until we've got a provably useful tool.
So spending a few minutes to look at my data, it is not quite that easy if we want to look at contrib checks for example. Both btree_gin and btree_gist have checks called "int4" for example, and the aforementioned regexp won't pick that up. But that's surely a fixable problem.
And perhaps we should at least start off data for just "make check" to see if it's useful, before spending too much work?
