Yes, the development beat is really key, and we need to find someone for 
this.  I wonder if we could kick this up to FESCo to see if they could 
identify/persuade someone to revive?

As a side note, I also spoke to David Nalley when I was at Ohio Linux 
Fest this past weekend about reviving the security advisories beat 
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN/Beats/SecurityAdvisories).  David 
just doesn't have time right now to do this, and is going to try to find 
someone.

David, I thought about this over the weekend, and I think this is a beat 
I could pick up, if need be.  Seems like just a matter of subscribing to 
the fedora-package-announce mailing list and aggregating the items 
marked security for the beat for the various releases?
