Yes, portscout does not know how to track commit hashes.

In these cases, I suggest to use some RSS reader: e.g. on the page
<https://gitlab.com/amavis/amavis/-/tags> there is an icon "Tags feed"
<https://gitlab.com/amavis/amavis/-/tags?format=atom> which should be
usuable from any RSS reader.

Another good mean is Repology (by Dmitry Marakasov / amdmi3):
<https://repology.org/project/amavis/versions>. Once subscribed as a
maintainer, you can get a notifications feed.

Regards.
