With the B.1.351 and especially the B.1.1.7 variant quickly spreading around I think it would be important to start publishing data to raise awareness. I have been searching for good data on B.1.1.7 and B.1.351 lineages recently, but unfortunately the RIVM or GGDs don't publishes anything yet.
cov-lineages.org is tracking all sequences shared with GIDAIDS however and shared these two reports:
They also provide a GitHub repo with most of their data and scripts.
I'm not sure yet what would be the best way to report this data daily, but maybe a global case count, EU case count, of case count of neighbors can be reported. The last update from the RIVM about B.1.1.7 indicated 50 on January 6th, the GISAID data from January 7th only reported 13 cases from The Netherlands, so it's lagging a bit behind.

I also opened a issue on the Corona Dashboard repo, but haven't had any response unfortunately: https://github.com/minvws/nl-covid19-data-dashboard/issues/1310
