Title:
  Please provide bulk test results in a remote-friendly medium

Status in Auto Package Testing:
  New

Bug description:
  Test results are currently accessible in two (three?) ways:

  - sqlite, a 1.6GB file with random updates and accessible only through HTTP: not syncable
  - web page, scrappable
  - something internal?

  I'd like to access all tests "currently" relevant for migrations. At
  the moment, I can scrap the webpages but I have doubts that it will be
  considered friendly to the web server if I do that several thousands
  of times every 20 minutes. This is why I am looking for something
  bulk, that can be synced/updated/fetched frequently.

  I can think of at least two approaches but don't know the constraints
  that exist.

  - atomically-updated file (JSON or any other format) with the date in its name: size should be small enough that fully downloading each time is fine, and there should be no concern about per-day cutoff since it will be required to keep past days locally anyway
  - same as above but with a different granularity: week, month, or even one for the every series?
  - append-only file

  Thanks
