I think this would be quite interesting, but I'm also not quite sure
what metadata you would put into the files.

In the past I've built a small script that uses mozilla pulse to figure
out when a commit changes the UUID of an IDL file or a such file is
added or deleted. I had a lot of ideas on how this could be built into a
real service, that allows the core or addon developer to better watch if
changes to the tree could affect his or her own code. Maybe this would
be interesting to a larger group of people, resulting in a such service
to watch code.

I also thought it would be pretty cool for Thunderbird (or other apps,
for that matter) to use the static analysis data from DXR to determine
the chance of toolkit code changes requiring changes in Thunderbird. I
never looked into this though.

Sorry if I am off topic, I just thought I'd throw my ideas out there in
case a code watching service becomes real.
