And.. while I'm thinking about it.. there is a second-order effect PR
win here. An in-distro tool that users can use to watch "interesting"
additions to Extras gives an easy way for users to watch and be
excited about the growth of technology IN Fedora. Small reminders to
people..people like reviewers who sit and play with Fedora on their
workstation and desktop that this is an active, growing community of
contributors.

If we are talking about a simple notification tool that bases its
notifications on something that is configured on the local system, I
don't see a problem with it. My concern was with the burden of managing
a list and writing the notifications. If it is entirely automated and
doesn't require additional management at our end, it might be worth
writing a small tool to make it happen. You've got my +1.
