Hi,

Fedora's bots listen to a RabbitMQ message bus for news of software
releases from Anitya at https://release-monitoring.org.

   ‘Anitya is a release monitoring project.

   ‘Its goal is to regularly check if a project has made a new
    release. When Anitya discovers a new release for a project, it
    publishes a RabbitMQ message via fedora messaging. This makes it
    easy to integrate with Anitya and perform actions when a new release
    is created for a project.  For example, the Fedora project runs a
    service called the-new-hotness which files a Bugzilla bug against
    a package when the upstream project makes a new release.

   ‘Anitya provides a user-friendly interface [for us plebs] to add,
    edit, or browse projects.’

        ― https://release-monitoring.org/static/docs/index.html

nmh isn't in its list, though it offers various back-ends for scraping
URLs with a regexp fallback option.  David obviously knows when the
Fedora package needs updating, but perhaps other services listen to
Anitya too.
