Summary: Check when our modules out-date

Initial Comment:
(is out-date a verb? who cares)

It would be helpful to take the script from cvs that checks the debian and CPAN versions make it run for our packages only in a cronjob on alioth and if something becomes outdated, mail a report to pkg-perl-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org

(This should also test whether tracker notifications emails get sent to p-p-m@l.a.d.o :-))

Never thought of that. 

Would it be possible to write a script that checks for all Packages with us as the maintainer, extracts the watch file, checks for newer version, and notifies pkg-perl-maintainers@lists.debian.org once a new version is detected?

I have tried to keep a debian/watch file for all the Perl modules I maintain, and run uscan regularly - Wouldn't this be enough?
Of course, there are some modules which are not in CPAN or cannot for whatever reason be covered by this method, but this can help with most.
