A resource to get notified when certain open source projects change in a negative way? (sh.itjust.works)

I’m looking for a way to keep an eye on open source software I’m using, especially if there are detrimental changes. Like for example when there’s an acquisition (Raivo Authenticator) or the project has not been updated in a long time (potentially posing a security risk).

But I don’t want to have to read about every project, just the ones I’m using.

Anyone got any ideas?

I can't imagine any way this is possible without crowdsourced information, and at that point you're just interacting with a community (likely the same one as you already are) through a different interface.

But if such an interface existed, it could be a cool project.
