I personally subscibe to announce mls of packages I am interested so I
get notified
but use no automated tool otherwise.
cnucnu seems to be nice.
seems data used by cnucnu is something that bitbake fetchers are already groking
from recipes. I think may be either generating this raw file that
cnucnu needs using
bitbake or adding the cnucnu like functionality to bitbake could be nice.

I like the fact that it can file bugs too.
