isn't this exactly what aurutils' sync-devel example script does?

Exactly, in brief, aurutils works by having a local custom repository of your own, and then you can add AUR packages to it, for example, with:
aur sync -S -d
And then keep them up to date through:
aur sync -S -d
-u
You can rebuild your AUR packages through:
aur sync -S -d
--no-ver -f
You can search for a package through:
aur search [-v]
On pacman.conf, make sure your custom local repo is listed after all official repos, so the AUR packages are picked last. One thing though, it's a good thing to manually search on the packages, although already installed and up to date, to see if they have been orphaned or not, if that's a thing... There's much more to aurutils. Though it's manual. If you were looking for auto notifications, you need something else. If you subscribe to a AUR package notifications, besides the comments on the package you also get update notifications, though depending on the package the comments might be too noisy... -- Javier
