Well, yes, it would, but it doesn't solve the issue for lots of other 
pages. Hence I started to use rss2email a lot, as the informations 
automatically comes to my inbox again -- that's where at least I want it ;-)

There is a API afaics, as bugzilla, bodhi, pkdb and other services in 
Fedora all can interact with FAS. So it likely shouldn't be to hard what 
you want to do; maybe you can some of the infos you need on 
https://fedorahosted.org/fas/ ; otherwise ask ToshioKuratomi (
