As a maintainer of a package on nixpkgs, what should I be doing to ensure that nixpkgs-update can keep my package up to date? I guess I had expected it would create PRs even if the build is failing, and it would be my job to fix those PRs. evils recently explained that that's not the case, and reading the code, I believe they're right.

Should I just be periodically running a command like nix-shell maintainers/scripts/update.nix --argstr maintainer jfly to make sure my packages are staying fresh?
