Each 3rd party library in github needs to have a maintainer (preferably the 
developer of it) who agrees to keep it updated. If there is no maintainer and it 
breaks, remove support for it from buildkite.

buildkite needs to provide the email address of the maintainer in its build log.

I don't see any other practical way.

Right on. We all do.
