I'm all for enabling monitoring everywhere, as I have myself lost way too many
updates of my packages due to it being disabled after the migration from pkgdb.

However I'd also like some simple way to opt out as well. Some packages have
really aggressive release schedules (looking at you boto3) generating too much
noise, and having to file PR's here [0], skimming through all the fedora rpm's
to find my package in order to tweak release monitoring is really not the most
intuitive approach.
