Description
Right now we still have to manually add new releases e.g. of Fedora to the EOL checker. It'd be nice if we could just track the project as a whole with a version qualifier so we don't have to manually add new releases - otherwise we still have the "someone forgot to track the latest Fedora release" gap where things can fall through the cracks.

Research direction
Start by locating the EOL checker and the current manually maintained release entries, then inspect how projects and version qualifiers are represented. Done means a project can track a release series without adding each new release manually, while still detecting the latest release instead of allowing it to fall through the cracks.
