A resource to get notified when certain open source projects change in a negative way? (sh.itjust.works)

I’m looking for a way to keep an eye on open source software I’m using, especially if there are detrimental changes. Like for example when there’s an acquisition (Raivo Authenticator) or the project has not been updated in a long time (potentially posing a security risk).

But I don’t want to have to read about every project, just the ones I’m using.

Anyone got any ideas?

Define "negative way"... GNOME changes in negative ways in a weekly basis so... Notification DDoS? :P

Bruh I think they're talking about serious stuff like adding spyware, deprecation, suspicious change of owner etc. But your question is valid

I was thinking that the license is no longer open
