Are we talking about something like this:
http://autoqa.fedoraproject.org/results/471217-autotest/virt02.qa/rpmguard/results/libmemcached-1.0.14-.html
and this:
http://autoqa.fedoraproject.org/results/471217-autotest/virt02.qa/rpmguard/results/libmemcached-1.0.14-.html
?

We're doing very poor job announcing it, but we run the tool on every new package build in Koji.
