There's a lot of noise on this list, and those emails are information overload. The fact that a particular package is affected is easily overlooked. It'd be nice if a notice could be shown in pkgdb to indicate that a particular package has dependencies in a problematic state. It'd also be nice if each package has its own list or notification feeds.
