linuxaudio.org would indeed be a good place for such a tracker, and it 
is indeed a good idea but for the issue of 'updatedness' ie; it would 
need quite some effort to remain up-to-date and therefore relevant and 
useful.If it slipped behind it could in fact have the opposite effect.  
who would be prepared to undertake such a burden? it would need to be 
completely automated as the amount of info could be quite substantial 
quite quickly... seems to me the devil is in the detail.
