I don't know if this would belong here, or another project.

As an example, check out the "Build Status: Passing" and "Dependency Status: up-to-date" buttons at the top of the description on: https://github.com/intridea/oauth2

When maintaining a lot of projects, it would be nice to know which ones have more recent versions of things they depend on.

And for consumers of those projects, it could be a measure of how well maintained the library is when evaluating it. More useful if you're worried about importing multiple things that themselves might transitively depend on multiple versions of the same library.
