Description

Currently, when authors update the content of a blog post, those changes are not reflected in the messages already posted to Matrix.

To ensure consistency, Matrix-Hookshot should monitor RSS feeds for updates to previously published posts that still exist in the feed and edit the corresponding Matrix messages to reflect those changes
