Has anyone looked into piggy-backing off:

Currently 15791 projects are being monitored by Anitya.

I *suspect* this is a Redhat backed project so it's likely
to remain active and up to date.

Hmmm, I just tried a few of the packages listed below and only
2 of 8 were tracked packages but this is an outliers list so
maybe that's a sign that the r-m.org site is doing better than
our tracker.

Their data is not of sufficient quality unfortunately. For Python they report 3.7.0 as the latest version even though it won't be released until june 2018. Python 2.x is neglected altogether. Latest 3.6 version is 3.6.3 released a month ago, but they report only 3.6.2.

Similar issues with webkitgtk: they report 2.19.1 (a pre-release), but not 2.18.2 (actual latest release).

Then there's the question of who maintains the mapping of their database to our package names.

Our tracker has over 98% accuracy, while this one failed both of the randomly chosen samples ;)
