For now it should be considered alpha quality. It looks for updates sent to the views branch, (views/en/latest folder), every 5 minutes, trying to process individual submissions.
If multiple submissions are found, this bot will inform about the number of add-ons updated. For single submissions, the add-on display name, version, channel, homepage, download URL and SHA-256 to verify its integrity will be provided.
All this may be changed or improved, and, if I detect that something is wrong, will reply to the bot providing more details.
This is built using just GitHub Actions and for now removed add-ons will be considered just updates, but I'll address them separately if needed.
