Sure, if everyone would participate it could solve this issue. But
reusing my above example expat:
https://release-monitoring.org/project/770/
Unfortunately only Alpine, Arch and Fedora are listed.

And it looks like release-monitoring.org doesn't track the name of the
libraries (which are probably subpackages).

Nevertheless, release-monitoring.org could solve this issue.
