Could we have a special page that lists all protected pages?
With possibility for narrowing queries by namespace or page title. Maybe with optional "protected by" filter. And filter by protection level (semi-/full protected).
It should report protected pages with the effective protection state (last protection event -- protecting sysop, protection level, date/time, protection summary).
Currently there is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log/protect and a bot on en.wikipedia.org compiles http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:PP from that (doing a lot of edits to that page).
As a minor side note it might be worth considering to limit access to listings of semi-protected templates to sysops (as that could serve as a recipe for autoconfirmed accounts to vandalize pages via semi-protected templates).

There's a bug request open for that: http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2171
