To avoid a false impression that you ignored the watch file by laziness and to inform an actual status, I created three fake packages[1]. These packages say if there no upstream site, if there no release in upstream site or if the upstream site there a package but doesn't allow track it (using a JavaScript to block it, for example). Some people are using my fake packages and you can see the result in my DDPO[2]. Look at 0.No-Site, 0.No-Release and 0.No-Track. Feel free if you want to use this solution.
