No interest due to several reasons, at least:

* With repoclosure output, there is no mapping from "broken dep to bodhi
ticket". Implementing such a mapping would not be trivial. And a different
strategy of finding dep breakage would duplicate some of what Will Woods
is working on.

* Negative karma on updates, which are marked stable already, is useless.

* Only the bodhi update submitter is notified about comments, afaik.
That is less useful than mailing to the package-owner at ... alias.
