How and where would this be confusing? The information on the package
details page? Say for eg.
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/mplayer/ I see this as
"Upstream Tracker" below "Upstream URL". I don't see how that can be
out of place. The RSS may not be shown but would allow a maintainer to
receive notifications about upstream changes just from an adopt + get
notification action.
