I was thinking of a post_pull hook. Presumably (...) these can access
the list of modified files brought in by a pull, compare the file names
against an external file that maps elpa packages to maintainers, and
send out a "your file has changed" notice. Then someone with a checkout
of the Emacs elpo repo could run bzr pull via cron.

An alternative is to write something that parses the "modified" section
of an emacs-diffs email to extract the file names, then does the same
thing. Invoked via procmail or whatever.
