take a look at the get_source.sh script at
https://git.centos.org/summary/centos-git-common.git that will bring
down the non-text sources to match the SPEC requirements for whatever
you have checked out at the moment.

https://git.centos.org/activity/ is likely what you are looking for, I
think this can be published as an rss feed as well, eg
https://git.centos.org/feed/rpms will give you rss feed for the rpms
repo's.

Does that help ?
