I'm wondering if anyone has a good solution for keeping track of new releases of the gems you're interested in (or really all software packages in general -- I have the same problem with Node packages). More and more frequently, I find that I want to be pinged when a new version of a gem has been published because I'm waiting for a particular patch to land, or just because I want to stay on top of it.
Bigger projects will have a developer mailing list, but smaller projects often don't (and I'm not always interested in subscribing to all the developer chatter anyways). Watching the project on GitHub doesn't quite do it, either - you get emails about issues opening and closing, but not when a new tag is pushed. Right now I've rigged up a solution using Zapier and RubyGem's own webhook API. It works pretty decent, but still involves a special curl invocation and a few moving parts. Anyone have a better idea?
