To see what I mean, create a project and select the Yocto Project Master release. Then, in the project page, click on the openembedded-core layer: the Targets and Machines tabs have no information in them. 

You will need to ask Alex how exactly this works, but I do know he is able to map the openembedded-core layer on master and dizzy with the information available from the layer index.

The fix for this would be a bit of a hack, probably not worth doing since the implementation of the layers functionality needs serious reviewing.

The layer details page of the core layers will have no information until you build the layer. Once you build the layer, it will get populated with the information generated during the build.
