Add option to flag outdated packages

Is there a way to implement an option to flag outdated packages directly via solus-sc?
Eh. Smells too much like Arch Linux to me..
Yes. I think it would make sense if there is a way to prioritize at what speed software gets updated and if there is a way to automatically generate an issue on Phabricator. The higher the flag count, the higher the priority (as per user demand except for security-related updates). Not sure if this would invite misuse though.
Oh it'd invite misuse. I think the existing mechanism is more than sufficient, no? Opening an issue directly on phab - and it deliberately has some blockers in the way, in that you need to verify an account first before opening an issue, so it puts off the anonymous stuff.

Yeah, you're right. The new link in the License tab "Report an invalid or missing license" is great by the way. I think this is extremely thoughtful and could prevent legal issues before they even have a chance to be raised. How about a similar link for outdated packages: "Report broken or outdated package" instead of a flag count as initially proposed?
Where is the best place to put that, though?
It could be in the details pane in a similar way that the License flag is.
