I'll add that to the features list...
my thinking-out-loud was off: we should try to query
the information directly from the distro servers
(planet et al.) rather than from a particular installation.
Also we should look into stuff like this:
http://freshmeat.net/projects/trovesendtwo/?topic_id=66%2C45%2C52%2C1081
it's supposed to help with simultaneously submitting project
info to freshmeat, savannah, and "similar".

It would be nice to provide app authors or
packagers with a trivial way
to update the page when they release packages.
A lot of the information we want (release date,
version, dependencies...) is already in RPM spec files,
debian control files, and gentoo ebuild files - we should leverage
that work.
Good plan, you could also hook into the sourceforge anouncements system -
subscribing to RSS feeds ro whatever.
