Agreed. The last (template:tracked) really seems like it should be
changes to MW/that template instead of in Phab itself (the communication
should be poll/pull instead of push).

The first is harder; it's easy for RelEng to *not* turn something on in
Phab (eg: phriction) but it's harder to add new features (obviously),
since this one is a change needed in Phab and not somewhere else (it
would have to know of third-party image repos and how to interact with
them safely).
