Are you thinking of something like https://github.com/facebook/mention-bot ? This fails in the case where someone does a big cross-cutting (i.e. not concerned with particular packages) refactor which happens to touch a lot of code. Suddenly you'd get a huge number of notifications about *every package under the sun*. (Why, yes, I *have* been the 'victim' of this type of thing in a GitHub repo where the project uses mention-bot. Now, some of that may simply be due to the algorithm that mention-bot uses, but it's pretty hard to avoid unless you're *somehow* able to algorithmically distinguish large-scale cross-cutting refactors from actual package maintenance changes.)
