No, no other repo had such a package and I also had a hard time to
track down any changes or new repos (at the beginning of a release
usually none had launched, and they would add to the game one by one
and I had to hunt them down). Every release I had been asking repos to
ping me once they were ready, but most still wouldn't, and some also
don't want anyone else but them to provide a config for their repo,
which I have to respect as well.

What I was thinking to replace it with in the long term is a wiki page
where users can simply add/remove repo configs.
