That's no new responsibilities. Sponsors have always been expected to do
that. With pkgdb, it requires "watch*" access to the packages. Else
it requires subscribing to the scm-commits list and filtering by
username/packagename. I've done that, and I've been aware of sponsors
who have done that, too.

The 'X time after package creation' has never been defined anywhere,
and I don't think it would be a good idea to define it as a constant.
The level of hand-holding varies a lot.

Too vague. Please expand on that.
