It is as easy as following the commits upstream makes, which is a
short daily visit (or for less important followers, even weekly);
that's really not too much asked for if you forked logind.
It is even quite common practice and scriptable:
git fetch ... ; git log ... ; git diff ...
In a similar way, I know Portage will get highlighting and a ^ indicator;
without that being announced until release, here's a copy paste (note
that what is above ^ would be colored in red, unwrapped to unbreak it):

(and 19 more with the same problems)
And of course, that's not the only change happening; dependency
resolution will become faster, some slot operator bug fixes happened
but caused regressions in released versions and thus more of such fixes
will be done, some "no parents" messages during slot conflict output
were nuked, ...
If I can type that as part of this mail, people could follow logind.
