If the websites have some sort of syndicated feed, like RSS or Atom or the like, it would be easy to write a basic script to pull the latest info from that. Likewise if there is regular version information in a web-accessible version of the file as well as the module's config file on the lines of SourceVersion=1.7.6 or SourceDate=1999-10-06 or something like that.

If that sort of information is not available in a structured way, then tracking updates to the upstream material can become far more difficult.

Do we have any system in place to monitor for changes the websites where our
module source texts from from?
e.g. When the text itself has been updated.

Or do we rely on ad hoc knowledge and reporting by interested volunteers?
