There is a third option that is being missed here: the tracker can be
interacted with by email[1], and you can do a whole lot of things
through that (including setting the keywords). I used the following to
subscribe to all my packages:
#!/usr/bin/env fish
set name "Maytham Alsudany"
sudo apt update
set packages $(grep-dctrl -n -F Uploaders -w $name -s Package \
/var/lib/apt/lists/deb.debian.org_debian_dists_unstable_main_source_Sources)
for package in $packages
echo "subscribe $package"
echo "keyword $package = bts"
end | mail control@tracker.debian.org
Alternatively, if you've already subscribed to some packages, and you
want to change all their keywords so you only get BTS emails, then you
can send "keyword = bts" to change your keyword settings for all your
subscriptions.
