How to make the Package index more useful

Greetings,

I check the package index almost every day. More and more it seems to be filled with every single change that occurs to a few code basees (Zope, Plone, etc) no matter how trivial. I don't understand why these development teams don't have their own SIG to post this stuff to. It does makes sense to post major new releases to the Package Index. Often now, it seems that these minor package changes bump other packages off the bottom of the visible list, or at least make it a task to find anything of interest.

Is anyone else annoyed by this?

I mean this to be constructive input. I'm not dissing these developers.

Best regards, Vern Muhr

May I suggest using an RSS reader, such as Bloglines or
Google 
Reader?  These services will show you a complete history of
changes, 
without any ability for you to "miss" anything.
