We could distribute the script as part of the MirrorManager toolkit. I don't have any MirrorManager experience either, so maybe this could be easily integrated into the existing set of scripts.

I wrote some scripts to do similar functionality a few years ago when
we were talking AMQP. Users could subscribe to packages and get gnome
notifications when bohdi or koji events took place. I also actually
made that mindmap at the Toronto fudcon a few years back. Maybe I can
look into this again in the next week when I get back from vacation.
