An alternative on this is to use a gadget or site JS bit to fetch the status live via Bugzilla's JSON-RPC interface -- that's easiest if all the pages are centralized in one wiki of course, so may not be ideal for pages on the other wikis.
I like that approach best. We can just run a single consolidated API query the moment a page with [[Template:Tracked]] instances on it is loaded, and add most recent status updates to all the relevant bugs.
A bot would have the advantage of pushing the status to watchlists and such, but would have the disadvantage of never being fully up-to-date.
Let me put it in the gadget to-do list and, if there are no takers, I'll take a crack at it. :)
