As a Fediversity user,
given upstream projects release new application versions,
I want for Fediversity to offer these for me to to update my applications to,
so that I may get needed vulnerability patches and new features.

implementation notes

This may involve keeping nix packages updated in nixpkgs. (doing this in upstream repos does not add much more value than git bisect could, if things break.)
Keeping applications updated may also raise questions on version ownership in case of migration (#100).
