A number of packages I (co-)maintain are affected and I find the "opt-in" instructions quite tedious as well. I'd love to have an option in fedpkg or at least a toggle button on src.fedoraproject.org or apps.fedoraproject.org/packages similar to what was there in the old PkgDB. So, if anyone wants to turn on automated version monitoring and bug filling for the packages I maintain, you're welcome to do so.
