Go for it! The https://bugs.cloud.gluster.org site is quite static and
can be generated from Jenkins. As long as the generated data file is
correctly linked from the webpage, everything should work just fine. The
page itself does not often get updates, but it could be a git clone
after which the data gets captured. A webserver just needs to host
three(?) files.

See https://github.com/gluster/gluster-bugs-webui for details.
