I don't mind as long as its available and reliable. I would expect this to be
updated seldomly since I would prefer to sync it manually with my own local
list; the reason is that I have some sublists which I must use and that can
only be generated manually:
1) A blacklist which I use to tell the script to not use the version from
ftp.gnome.org, even if available
2) A list that matches Ubuntu package names with upstream ones
3) A list with "watch" files to retrieve upstream versions (they are watch
files alike but in many cases I can't just use the watch file that is in the
package)

That seems great to me and very hopeful. Thanks for taking my comment
into account. If you need a hand on this, I can help you without any
problem.
For you information, I spoke with Vincent Untz at PCL (french
promotion event) and he shew me this link:
http://tmp.vuntz.net/opensuse-packages/obs.py
This tools has the same goal for the OpenSUSE distribution and a
command line client enables them to update some
information. As vuntz subscribed to this ML, I think he can give more
information if needed.

Sure, more information available :-) Just ask stuff.
I didn't read the thread so far, but the point of my tool is to make it
easier for people to update packages in openSUSE. Knowing which packages
are not up-to-date is part of this, but there are other things. Need to
leave soon, so I don't really have time to write down how this works
right now -- but yeah, ask questions!
(Didier, btw, it's openSUSE, not OpenSUSE ;-))

I found this hilarious :-)
Anyway, are the tools you use to generate that page open source? I'd be
interested to see how you fetch the data (especially for stuff not hosted on
ftp.gnome.org).

It's not just open source, it's free :-)
It's in http://www.vuntz.net/git/osc-plugins.git/ (in the obs-dissector
plugin -- look at download-upstream-versions). I need to fix the license
(it's LGPL or GPL, instead of what's mentioned in the header).
You also need to take a look at upstream-limits.txt and
upstream-tarballs.txt.
It's in no way openSUSE specific, and the long-term goal I have is to
make this data easily available so everybody can use it (instead of
having everyone run this kind of scripts).
FWIW, it currently output a file with lines like this (format is stupid
and might need a change):
