I'm not sure how git blame would help with finding stuck projects, but
if you tweak the output to be similar to this:

  <file>:<line>: message/string

or

  <file>:<line>:<col>: message/string

You could call the script from a compile buffer (M-x compile).  In this
buffer, this kind of output is linked back to the original files and you
could iterated over the found lines.
