It would be *so* nice to have something like that or, if it already 
exists, a bugzilla URL that will accomplish the same thing. If the 
latter, I'd happy write up a bash/wget script that people can use in 
their own cron jobs.

Part of the problem -- and this is merely a description, not a gripe, 
and it's certainly not directed at Jesse, who's put in way more work 
than anyone should expect -- is that it's difficult to find the time 
to figure out what needs doing. I'd happily Q/A more packages, but 
doing so requires (afaict) lots of bugzilla spelunking, and I'm still 
never sure if I've got it all.

I realize that it requires lots of labor hours to make nifty 
interfaces and current web pages -- but that's my view from the cheap 
seats.
