Sure, if that is the address you want for the list I can probably put it up tomorrow sometime. I just want to be very sure before I start work on it.
Well, wine-tests-results@winehq.org is OK AFAICT. Are there better proposals?

No need for PHP -- the page will be static HTML generated externally through a Perl script I'd guess. We'll have to figure a way of integrating the above list with such a script. I'm wondering if we don't need a DB in the middle, something like so:
wine-tests-results --> parser --> DB --> generator --> .template
Something like MySQL should do, but it's a non-trivial setup.
Do we really need a C program, a new mailing list, automated result submission, generating HTML and now a database just so we have something that says:
Test | Result ----------+--------- kernel32 | Passed msvcrt | Passed oleaut32 | Passed dsound | Passed ...
This all seems very much over-engineered to me. I'd really like to see that kind of energy spent on fixing the tests so that they actually work on Windows.
