    TL;DR:

    Browse documentation:

    $ man find-work

    Backstory
    ---------

    I used to be very active in ::guru, trying to fix every bug. This led me
    to a burnout, so after some months of rest I decided to care only about packages that are actually installed on my system.

    I used a couple of scripts for that, and after writing yet another one I realized they have a common purpose: fetch all available work and filter
    it to show only things I will be interested in.

    That's how this utility was born.

    What's next?
    ------------

    v0.3.0 has initial support for Repology, Bugzilla and
    packages.gentoo.org as data sources. It can filter results by installed
    status and/or by maintainer email.

    However the development can't move forward without your feedback, so I encourage you to report bug and feature requests on my bugzilla, chat
    rooms or via email.

    Everyone is also welcome to contribute.
