The whole point of my wishlist bug was to get PTS to send me and
interested parties subscribing to the PTS for that package an e-mail,
so that I could package new versions *before* being flooded with
requests from users to do so. Auto-filing a bug against the package,
on the same day as the new upstream is released, would fulfill that
goal perfectly, thank you.
