Description

Right now, there is no easy way to see if a package has been added to, or removed from, the repository. The way I do it now for the news posts is I go through all the commits in the repo for the sync cycle trying to spot commit messages saying "Add at x", or anything about deprecation. This has proven to be very prone to me missing added and removed packages.

It would be great to be able to get a summary of these packages using the worklog.py tool.

Research direction

Start by locating worklog.py and reading how it summarizes a repository sync cycle and its commits. Trace how package additions, removals, and deprecations are currently represented, then define the summary output so it reliably lists newly added and removed packages. Done means the worklog exposes both package changes without requiring manual commit-message inspection.
