The nixpkgs-side is one dimension to what maintainers have to do,
but what I’m stubling upon is the update-information-side.

If I’m set as maintainer for a package, what are the best ways
to get informed when new versions come out (e.g. RSS, announcement
mailinglists, nixos-monitor)?
Providing help with that would be important too for people to easily
pick up one or two packages for maintenance.

What tools do you guys use?
