If the packager doesn't knows about the new version he can leave the package outdated for a long time. So would be good that, at some time, if an user finds the problem he reports it. But, how should be reported? There is any feature planned in the OBS to help with this?
For specifically learning about the new version, Marcus Meissner has some code that crawls for version updates, maybe we could turn that into a system on opensuse.org that you can subscribe to somehow for notifications.
FWIW, at the GNOME level, we were asked by Debian and Gentoo packagers to provide a single file containing the latest versions for all stable/unstable modules. This would make life easier for them since they wouldn't have to crawl the FTP many times. Also, it'd be possible to push the information to openSUSE when we upload a new tarball on the GNOME FTP. I guess other big projects could do the same (one file for all tarballs, and pushing the information). If there's interest for this, I can put people in contact with the relevant GNOME people...
