So, for applications and their direct dependencies, that'd mean a mail
when the development Flatpak needs a change, but not when the change is
related to a dep on gitlab.gnome.org.

Which I guess means that non-gitlab.gnome.org dependencies should
probably be pinned to specific versions even in our nightly/devel
builds.

Still, that seems somewhat automatable.
