One integration that might also be useful is what we track on the ruby
wiki currently: https://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/ruby/wiki/PendingBumps
which is a collection of quick notes on problems encountered while
bumping packages. The ability to attach notes to packages and to
acknowledge version bumps (and e.g. make them yellow instead of red)
could help with larger lists for herds.
