Yeah, but just looking at "new" packages probably won't be enough
(whether getting the data from fedora-scm-requests, bodhi, or compose
reports, etc.). There's just too much low-level stuff getting added
all the time (and by that I mean packaging of new library
dependencies, to keep all applications happy and up-to-date), but most
of those "new" packages are not interesting to users at all.

Still, I'd hope that most people who worked on some cool new feature
for Fedora would want people to know about it? Opening a ticket to get
it included in a "Cool new stuff in Fedora this $MONTH" listicle seems
like a low barrier to get things out "to the world".
