Comment (by tardyp):

 Buildbot plugin system is really made for enabling such dashboards.

 A web ui plugin is not technically restricted to creating a bunch of js
 file, it could also create a twisted service.

 For me having the JS only use existing data api to query the data will be
 very inefficient. I think we could easily create a service, like a status
 service that registers to a bunch of mq events, and create statistics
 based on that.

 I also had in mind that plugins could have some table in the DB they could
 use to store the data, or maybe use another db configuration with all
 schema + migration stuff separated.
