How do I Notify Someone that a Package is out of Date?
======================================================
Chances are that if the package hasn't been updated for a few days, then the

1. Edit the relevant ruby file in +/recipes
2. Fork Homebrew on github
1. Edit the relevant ruby file in /Brewery/Formula
2. Fork Homebrew on github (or generate a patch)
3. Send mxcl a pull request
Congratulations, you have contributed to an open source project!
