Just because some page is "watched" doesn't mean somebody is really caring about it. A better feature could be to list pages which are not being "actively" watched; an active watcher could be defined as someone who has made a login/edit in the past X days.
This is already done in FlaggedRevs IIRC, so it shouldn't be hard to implement. It would also be nice to see the magnutide of the number of watchers (or even the exact number; doesn't seem to add much extra vulnerability compared to the list of unwatched pages) and the list of pages (un)watched by a certain user group (some wikis have a separate group for patrollers). The latter would be especially useful for FlaggedRevs-enabled wikis since editors (the user group with flagging rights) receive a warning if there are unreviewed changes on their watchlists.
It's available at the toolserver, but only if there are more than a number of watchers (10?). This way, you can't know if a page has no watchers or just a few ones. http://toolserver.org/~mzmcbride/cgi-bin/watcher.py
