Problem to solve

We have a project which is used in pretty much every other project as git-submodule. Currently it is a tedious process to check each project if it is using the most recent commit of the master branch of the shared project.

• Is there a way to show other projects using the current project as submodule?
• Maybe even a way to see if the other projects are using an old commit of the shared project?
• Maybe also a button to create a commit updating the shared submodule in the other project

Further details

Proposal

• Add a page to see a list of projects using the current project as a submodule
• Add an indicator if the commit checked out by the other project is older than the current master
• Add a button to create a commit in the other project to update the git-submodule

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
