I see a very interesting utility to automate the process of updating and
searching for new software versions. Livecheck can be extended to notify
maintainers, upload pull requests, create ebuild tar.gz with go-module,
etc.., thus eliminating much of the tedious work
I have my own imperfect shell scripts [1] to loop over an overlay. It's
fairly simple:
1. Increase MAJOR or MINOR or PATCH version by 1 and set lower version
to zero.
2. Check if source exists by running `ebuild ... manifest`. If yes, go to 1.
3. Create a branch and commit the last existing version ebuild and send
PR (in order for CI to check if all is fine with the build).
I'd be curious if this or portions of this functionality is covered by
livecheck. If it only needs minor tweaks I'd consider contributing them
and switching from my scripts to livecheck.

PS: I think repology might also be a good host/source for update detection.
