That's more or less what I proposed in a slightly different context: in the
custom agenda views.

See patch in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2012-10/msg00014.html.

That said, I would as well consider that as a benefit, to get such info in the
Org buffers as well.

Best regards,
  Seb
