I actually found myself wishing for a way to list all packages I
packaged, so I can update them (say, somewhat obscure and possibly
indirect dependencies of packages like mpv, which might end up very
out-of-date since nobody directly cares for them) but then I remembered
this is easy to do via git log grepping, especially thanks to our strict
commit format.

    git log --author=3DTaylan --grep=3D'^gnu: Add ' --format=3Doneline |
      sed -rn 's/.*Add (.*)\.$/\1/p'
