Comment # 1 on bug 1113617 from Andreas Stieger

A package not being the latest is not a bug. It is merely useful information. I
really wish that this could be made a distribution facility rather than the
very crude bugzilla. For starters, your report goes nowhere if you do not
assign it to the bugowners. Your reporting has nothing to add for cases where
the package is independently updated or the single assignee vanished. In other
words, we need to have something to be queried by package (rather than
searched), and that auto-updates when the package happens to be touched
otherwise. So overall this is well intended, and some people like it. But I
think it is an effort that can have a much bigger impact on the distribution if
it were directed better. I was accused of being ungrateful in this matter, so I
will leave it at that.
