A agree with Geoffery on this. Using bugzilla is best. Simple automated
reporting might not be enough if, for example, more than one spell has
to be updated to get another to work, an automated report wouldn't have
that (or else reports would become quite large). 
I'm not saying it would be impossible, but it would be quite a task.
OTOH, someone could write a short script that automates this bug report
to bugzilla for new versions.
Ideas like this have been tossed around a bit (like reporting failures
too). The main thing though is that maintainers (maintainers, please
correct me if you prefer a multitude of places containing overlapping
reports) need a single easy consistent interface to bugs, upgrades, etc.
So, if anyone has an itch to do any of that, I'd suggest letting it
interface in some way with the bugzilla. No idea how this would be done
though.
