I really like this solution. It seems clean and unobjectionable, while getting the job done.
What's the job, though? The way I see it, the issue isn't that there aren't enough notifications of BIND vulnerabilities. Administrator inertia is the root cause. I don't see how an automatism such as the one described changes human behavior. And unless you change that inertia, no amount of notification, databases, registries, yada yada yada will make any difference.
