As I wrote in my other e-mail to you just now, I believe this feature is
currently broken.

I believe so, but it won't work until we can fix that. In the meantime,
you should be able to bind individual consumers to repositories as a
workaround. Unfortunately, we don't have the groups working to help you
with that, so this may be the only way to accomplish your purposes until
we can get that bug fixed.

I believe the feed_url should be retrievable from a repo using the CLI.
Can you give some example CLI output that doesn't meet your
expectations?

Ah, perhaps a messaging system ping/pong sort of feature? Interesting,
that does sound useful.
