Description

Provisional idea:

Currently, some third-party packages with frequent releases are annoying. If we use a version range (e.g. 1.2.* or ~= 1.2.3), stubtest breaks even on minor, non-user facing changes, and will create daily tickets unless fixed. When using a fixed version (e.g. 1.2.3), it will frequently create tickets by stubsabot to update the version.

I think it would be nice to have a dashboard instead (updated daily) that just lists the packages that need updates, either because stubsabot detected a change, or because stubtest broke.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing stubtest and stubsabot processes mentioned in the issue to understand how package changes and stubtest failures are detected. Done would be a daily-updated dashboard listing packages needing updates for either reason, but the issue does not specify implementation entry points or tests.
