That's a bit difficult and perhaps some more research is needed. There are those messages send by "Debian FTP Masters" to our developers mailinglist (= the "maintainer") where you can see examples in the archive for instande here[1]. Unfortunately there is not much information about the package itself - at least the short description would be needed IMHO. So what we could twitter might be: <package> - <short description obtained from UDD> uploaded [closing #bugnumber] This could be triggered if a mail is recieved from FTP Master (so your daemon could simply subscribe the list). I admit that I do not really like this suggestion because it includes several weak parts. It might make sense to discuss this on debian-devel/-mentors where other clever people are listening and probably might come up with a better idea. Kind regards Andreas.
