Problem to solve

Sometimes we are unaware that our GitLab instance is in the "update asap" mode.

Further details

Even if the web interface is not used for a period of time, it is still important to be up to date with security fixes.

Proposal

Can we add a periodic check server-side that will send a notification email when a security update is available?

E.g. similar to Settings > Reporting > Abuse reports
I.e. Settings > Reporting > Security updates
