Hello,
Is there some way to search through the SlackBuilds repository and
identify scripts that require an update?
I am interested in taking on a larger load of SlackBuilds as a
maintainer. I am just a bit concerned about how I would go about
keeping track of when the upstream sources are updated so that I can
update the SlackBuild.
I am not worried about whether I do or do not use the SlackBuild. I am
happy to update / maintain such software.

This is my opinion as a maintainer, not as an admin :)
It's the maintainer's job to make sure a package is working well because
normal people will not care about who's updating it and they rarely see
cgit interface to see the history. All they see is the individual files
or tarball from our website if they use automatic tool.
if they found any problem, they will contact the maintainer's first, not
the last person updating them.
my suggestion is to follow the guidelines.
Contact the maintainer and if no response in reasonable time, feel free
to take over maintainership.
If you are a maintainer and no longer wanted to keep the package or
probably having no time to update or even worse, no longer use
Slackware, please let others know in this mailing list so others can
take over.
