    I asked chatgpt to write a go program for this, this looks roughly correct (I have used both libraries before) obviously this won’t be enough for your particular use case. I imagine you can integrate an RSS feed to your site, however if you’re using something like hugo perhaps output it as a csv.

    Super low effort but a good start I think:

    package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"os"
	"strings"
	"time"

	git "github.com/go-git/go-git/v5"
	rss "github.com/jteeuwen/go-pkg-rss"
)

const (
	timeout = 5 // timeout in seconds for the RSS feed generation
)

// Repository represents a git repository with its URL
type Repository struct {
	URL string
}

// Repositories is the list of git repositories
var Repositories = []Repository{
	{URL: "https://github.com/owner/repo1"},
	{URL: "https://github.com/owner/repo2"},
	// Add more repositories here
}

// FetchLatestTag fetches the latest tag from a git repository
func FetchLatestTag(repoURL string) (string, string, error) {
	// Clone the repository to a temporary directory
	dir, err := os.MkdirTemp("", "repo")
	if err != nil {
		return "", "", err
	}
	defer os.RemoveAll(dir)

	_, err = git.PlainClone(dir, true, &git.CloneOptions{
		URL:      repoURL,
		Progress: os.Stdout,
	})
	if err != nil {
		return "", "", err
	}

	repo, err := git.PlainOpen(dir)
	if err != nil {
		return "", "", err
	}

	tags, err := repo.Tags()
	if err != nil {
		return "", "", err
	}

	var latestTag string
	var latestCommitTime time.Time

	err = tags.ForEach(func(ref *plumbing.Reference) error {
		tag := ref.Name().Short()
		commit, err := repo.CommitObject(ref.Hash())
		if err != nil {
			return err
		}
		if commit.Committer.When.After(latestCommitTime) {
			latestCommitTime = commit.Committer.When
			latestTag = tag
		}
		return nil
	})
	if err != nil {
		return "", "", err
	}

	return latestTag, latestCommitTime.Format(time.RFC1123Z), nil
}

// GenerateRSS generates an RSS feed from the latest tags of the repositories
func GenerateRSS() string {
	feed := rss.Feed{
		Title:       "Latest Tags from Git Repositories",
		Link:        &rss.Link{Href: "http://example.com/"},
		Description: "This feed provides the latest tags from a list of git repositories.",
		Created:     time.Now(),
	}

	for _, repo := range Repositories {
		tag, date, err := FetchLatestTag(repo.URL)
		if err != nil {
			log.Printf("Error fetching latest tag for repository %s: %v", repo.URL, err)
			continue
		}
		feed.Items = append(feed.Items, &rss.Item{
			Title:       fmt.Sprintf("Latest tag for %s: %s", repo.URL, tag),
			Link:        &rss.Link{Href: repo.URL},
			Description: fmt.Sprintf("The latest tag for repository %s is %s, created on %s.", repo.URL, tag, date),
			Created:     time.Now(),
		})
	}

	var rssFeed strings.Builder
	rssFeed.WriteString(xml.Header)
	if err := feed.Write(&rssFeed); err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Error generating RSS feed: %v", err)
	}

	return rssFeed.String()
}

func main() {
	rssFeed := GenerateRSS()
	fmt.Println(rssFeed)
}

    Most of the reasons mentioned, and also they are a bit out of the way to install and setup, you don’t get much feedback as per users using them. As they integrated with the OS you have to search for them as a user, and you have advertise them as a someone packaging. Every extra step creates friction which ads up. It feels like a solution based in the concept of maintaining SEP. – Plus people aren’t exactly paid to do this.
