Ask nicely, perhaps with a ticket over at
https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/newticket

I took this morning and early afternoon to write up an e:n-v-r
comparison script that uses koji information as the basis of it's
comparison.  I've got it compat-complete with the output of the old
script, and it runs in about 3 minutes to compare from f8-final all the
way up through rawhide.

It doesn't currently mail the maintainer directly, I would like the
package address aliases to be in place first (like
pungi-package at fedoraproject.org) so that I don't have to duplicate a
bunch of logic to figure out who all should hear personally about the
problem.

I'm going to check it into the rel-eng git tree in a moment and run it
manually for the first time to get the output sent to fedora-devel-list.

The output is somewhat separated from the data generation so it should
be easy enough to hack on it for output suggestions.

Finally we have to decide on when to run the script.  Obviously once
daily makes sense, perhaps tied into the rawhide generation.  I'm open
to ideas other than that, I wouldn't necessarily want to run it more
than once a day due to the email it would be sending directly to package
(co)maintainers/watchers.
