Phrased that way, I don't really like the idea of FD checking on his peers' work.
I believe this is better from a person with a hierarchical relationship (such as coordinator... :)), and long-term availability (by-week FD probably won't check Sunday's uploads, nor ping possibly busy contributors the next weeks to clarify if work is needed and/or underway).
Technically the tracking should already happen in data/dsa-needed.txt (for a confirmed DSA) or bugs.debian.org tag=pu (for point updates). So we only want to track a temporary state when the possibility of a LTS-Team-made update is initially coordinated with secteam and/or package maintainer. Do we really need that? :)
