 1.- the script could wait for x days before announcing the thing,
   assuming a new version will be out soon if there's something critical
 2.- it could send a message to the author, giving him the option
   to cancel the announcement by replying within the next x days

Just be sure not to release my_soft-1.0 with subtle "THE COMPUTER WILL

BTW, (1) is suspiciously close to Debian's unstable/testing thing. Is it
that I keep seeing APT everywhere there's software release management 
involved? :->
