The problem here is knowing who to email about which repositories. I'd rather not use the library metadata, as I'm sure there are people listed as maintainers who don't want to be pestered with emails.
One might argue that the whole point of adding yourself as a maintainer along with an e-mail address is to be pestered with emails about the library. :-)
I'd argue that the whole point of adding myself as a maintainer is to take responsibility for managing the project (including issues, PRs, etc.) myself. I certainly don't want to receive any additional emails telling me about things I'm already fully aware of.
Although I'd make the reminder monthly rather than weekly. Weekly would be a nuisance.
Having the ability to receive such reminders may be useful to some, but I expect this to be an "opt-in" service, not "opt-out". Stefan -- ...ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin...
