This has been partially implemented in the DEHS backend, what's left now is to 
make the backend store a list of upstream versions for which a notification 
was sent and to make the PTS deliver the messages.

I'm explicitly CC'ing owner@packages.qa.d.o to see how this can be done 
(adding the 'newversion' tag/keyword to the PTS and making a default:off).
