+i would use this only if time is too short and people who maintain a huge 
+amount of package, who cannot script like jq or have no super powers want 
+that.
+
+if you look at it that way, it seems like there aren't that many people who 
+would need this feature.
+
+
+Personally, i want an app where i can log in, search a package, and grab / 
+drop it (last packager could be shown if you have the info anyway...), and a 
+link to the bugs of that package, and also a way to show my maintained 
+packages. that's it.
